‘Rogues’ Gallery’ Snapped Up For TV Adaption By Don Cheadle’s This Radicle Act Production Company
by Olly MacNamee
The first story arc of hit thriller series Rogues’ Gallery (issues #1-4) by writer Hannah Rose May (rising star Ghosts, Shooter, and Altered Carbon actress) and artist Justin Mason (Spider-Punk) will be collected into trade paperback this December. And, we hear it may even be on its way to becoming a TV show with the rights recently bought up by Don Cheadle’s This Radicle Act production company, as reported by Deadline:
“Cheadle has a first look with Industrial Media and the plan is to adapt Rogues’ Gallery into a TV series… May will serve as an EP and will be producing the series through her Weird Neighbour Productions banner alongside Cheadle, Karyn Smith-Forge and This Radicle Act.”
“The series is perhaps best described as The Purge meets Scream. It is a pulse-pounding story that follows disenfranchised TV superhero actress Maisie Wade as she is terrorized by an unhinged group of intruders cosplaying her day job’s arch-villains. If Maisie is going to survive the night, she’ll need to be the hero she has come to despise.”
Rogues’ Gallery, Vol. 1 will be available at comic book stores on Wednesday, December 7th and bookstores on Tuesday, December 13th from Image Comics
