Film at Eleven

According to CHUD, Robert Rodriguez is to produce and co-write the script for a big screen adaptation of Michael Allred’s Madman. George Huang will be sharing the scripting duties and is to direct the live-action film for Dimension Films.

Madman is about a guy who is killed in a car accident. A mad scientist resurrects him, calls him Frank Einstein, and gives him super powers. He then has weird and post-modern adventures. Allred, whose wacky pop art illustrations define Madman, will be heavily involved in the making of the movie, which is going to be shot at Troublemaker in Austin. Will it be done in that Sin City style? I would bet on it – Madman really lends itself to that cartoony semi-animation method.

I have to admit that I’m not familiar with this character, but it certainly sounds like fun.
