Douglas Cook and David Weisberg have been attached to write a big-screen adaptation of “Nick Ratchet,” a Stan Lee/POW Entertainment project set up at Disney.

The lighthearted mystery thriller follows a shy and ineffectual police officer and his rough and tough online avatar/persona named Nick Rachet, and a Jekyll & Hyde-type struggle between the two when Nick Ratchet emerges from inside his video game to take over the life of his creator.

Richard LaGravenese is attached to direct, and the concept is from Stan Lee. Larry Jacobson and Sonny Grosso are producing, and Lee is exec producing with Gill Champion from POW.
