“Star Wars” alum Oscar Isaac will star in and produce a new superhero project for Legendary.
“The Great Machine” is based on Brian K. Vaughan’s comic book series “Ex Machina” and charts the exploits of civil engineer Mitchell Hundred, who after a mysterious accident gains powers making him the world’s first and only superhero. In the wake of his actions during 9/11 he is elected mayor of New York City, turning his back on life as a masked vigilante. But his political career is threatened when the source of his powers returns to claim its debt.
Anna Waterhouse and Joe Shrapnel are set to adapt the story.
