Jane Goldman To Pen NONPLAYER For WB

The X-Men: First Class writer has revealed that she will work on adapting the Eisener award winning Sci-fi/Fantasy comic for the screen..

A while ago we heard that Warner Bros. had acquired the rights to Nate Simpson's comicbook Nonplayer from Image Comics, with a view to setting up a potential tentpole project with producers Roy Lee (The Ring) and David Heyman (the Harry Potter series). Now it seems they have a writer on board to adapt the series, and it's none other than Mrs Jonathan Ross herself, Jane Goldman.

She tells The Playlist..

I’m working on a sci-fi project for Warners. It’s called Nonplayer, an adaptation of a really wonderful comic that just won the Eisner for Newcomer. It’s futuristic, it’s incredible. Science fiction is not a genre I’m used to, but it’s my favorite.

Goldman has quite a bit on her plate now, so her returning to work on the First Class sequel with Mathew Vaughn is by no means a certainty:

"That's not certain yet. But I'd like to, and Matthew [Vaughn] would like me to."

. But having looked in Nonplayer, it does sound like it would make a pretty good movie..

Nonplayer is a sci-fi/fantasy story about Dana Stevens, a brilliant young woman who retreats from the dismal workaday world of the future into the digital fantasy realm of Jarvath, where she's a fearless warrior. Dana is not alone in her pursuits, however, and before long her adventures begin to cat-and-mouse back and forth between the two worlds.

The art reminds me of Geoff Darrow but the people have faces that aren't as ugly. Anyone read it?

[JxXxR]

Nonplayer? yeah it's only 1 issue. lol

[Jack Roller]

Any good?

[JxXxR]

yeah it's pretty good, nothing revolutionary but it's a different story than what ppl are used to. Basically a comic about a girl who plays an MMO where the fake world is 10000000x better than the real world she live sin. It's only one issue so it's not to time staking
