Producer Don Murphy recently talked to Sci Fi Wire about the long-rumored and highly-anticipated adaptation of the Grant Morrison comic “We3″, which he is attached to. According to Murphy, “We3″ already has both a script and a director, and just needs a studio home.

The Grant Morrison-written Vertigo miniseries “We3″, released in 2004, has made some progress in its long-rumored big-screen adaptation, with John Stevenson announced today to direct.
