It Had to Happen Eventually...

Two years ago, when RoboNixon was recovering after some CPU work, he had the chance to read Warren Ellis' interesting graphic novel, OCEAN. The first thing I thought was that, with a little more development, this could make for a really tight, very exciting, very original feature film.

Looks like I was two-years ahead of the game.

OCEAN was originally published as a six-part mini-series.

From the Hollywood Reporter:

Ryan Condal has been hired to adapt "Ocean," [...] by Warren Ellis that is set up at Warner Bros. Nick Wechsler and Hollywood Gang's Gianni Nunnari are producing.

The story revolves around the discovery of thousands of coffins containing angel-like bodies and a giant weapon of mass destruction beneath the ice on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. A U.N. weapons inspector is sent to investigate the find, teaming with a space station crew, when a powerful conglomerate moves in to exploit the discovery.

Hopefully they'll fix some of the problems in the story and beef up the more exciting elements. It's worth a read, though maybe not worth the investment of a purchase. Check your local library, or bug your nerdy friends. Lord know, where Warren Ellis goes, the geek will follow.
