The comic book craze isn’t dying down anytime soon. Twentieth Century Fox has bought the rights to the Archaia graphic novel “Rust,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The comic book, written and illustrated by Royden Lepp, is called “the next great All-Ages book” and described as a “high-octane adventure” set in the prairie in an unknown time:
Life on the Taylor family farm was difficult enough before Jet Jones crashes into the barn, chased by a giant decommissioned war robot! Oldest son Roman Taylor struggles to keep his family’s small farm afloat as the area heals from a devastating world war. While the rest of his family may not trust the mysterious boy with the jetpack, Roman believes the secrets of Jet’s past may be the key to their survival.
Attached to the project are Aline Brosh McKenna as the screenwriter and Simon Kinberg as a producer. Kinberg is a writer-producer who worked on “X-Men: First Class.” He was also a writer-producer for “This Means War,” a romance/action film directed by McG starring Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon. McKenna wrote “The Devil Wears Prada” and “We Bought a Zoo,” and has written and is executive producing “I Don’t Know How She Does It” starring Sarah Jessica Parker.
