Director Mostow to Bring 'The Megas' Comic to Big Screen

Mostow's Mega Comic

According to the Hollywood Reporter, one of Terminator 3 Director Jonathan Mostow's next feature film projects will be based on his own comic book, The Megas, which hits stands this Wednesday. The comic, published by Virgin Comics, is set in a future where the American Revolution resulted in the continuation of the monarchy and not a democracy.

The story, co-written by Mostow and John Harrison, centers on Royal Investigator James Madison who is forced to make a choice between covering up a murder-suicide that could rock the establishment or doing the right thing and exposing the crimes, and the monarchy, for all of its evil deeds.

According to Mostow, he had the story in his head for many years but was just looking for a way to do it, finally finding that way with comics. "I thought it had potential as a movie or a TV series, but I wanted to explore it creatively first," Mostow said in the article. "This seemed like the best way to explore it."

Issue #1 of The Megas is at your local comics shop this week.
