>Paramount has made a preemptive film rights deal for Avengelyne, with Akiva Goldsman producing with an eye toward directing a thriller revolving around a heroine hatched by Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld. Goldsman, who is currently overseeing the Hasbro movies for Paramount after overseeing the Transformers writer room for the studio, will head the search for a screenwriter to draft a movie that is being called John Wick with a fallen angel. Deal was mid against high six figures for the rights.
>Avengelyne is an angel who fights the forces of evil and often finds herself face-to-face with demons and monsters. She was the most feared warrior in Heaven’s Warhost, having single-handedly broken into Pandemonium, the outer fortress of Hell, to confront the Devil himself. She is a fallen angel, banished from Heaven by God after being tricked into questioning his love for humans. Avengelyne was stripped of all her angelic abilities, other than her great strength and her blood, which, once extracted from her body, could be used as a weapon or a miracle once empowered by quoting verses from the Bible. Avengelyne uses her powers to fight demons on earth and is being groomed to be humankind’s last hope in a coming Armageddon. Liefeld several years ago said he would write the movie as a vehicle for fighter-turned-action star Gina Carano. At the time, he explained Avengelyne’s appeal: “Avengelyne resonated so powerfully with the audience because her story of redemption is one that is so relatable. A fallen angel, sentenced to redeem herself by serving humanity, Earth is a foreign environment to her, she must adapt in order to save herself as well as mankind. Her dilemma provides humor amidst the larger plot engine driving her journey. ” There is no actress in line for the role at the moment.
Weren't they making a Prophet movie too? Way more interested on that one, not gonna lie.

>Akiva Goldsman It definitely will be like a Liefeld book: absolutely craptastic.
Jeremiah Watson
I like Avengelyne a lot but let's be honest this is never getting made
Gabriel Evans
If it does, she'll look nothing like she does there.

Paramount has been making a lot of questionable decisions and have lost a lot of money (even more so than Sony and WB). Ben-Hurr was a huge flop and lost them alot of money (bigger bomb than Tranktasic Four).
Maybe they are hoping if they buy this character by a comic book writer that they can get back in the game.
Hunter Hughes
they chose the wrong character if they wanted a Liefeld character for the Deadpool audience and money
Eli Lopez
I love these 90s names. You can use them to create more characters. Bloodstrike - Strikeblood
Charles Walker
Paramount's been working on a Hasbro shared universe. In fact that's probably part of why Hasbro's been pushing for it in the comics.

>Lumberjanes gets optioned for a movie >Rat Queens gets its own TV show, as does Bomb Queen >now this >meanwhile, the movie adaptations of Madman, The Goon and Nexus languish in production hell ffs
Evan Gomez
>Rat Queens gets its own TV show, as does Bomb Queen S-sauce?
I'm still convinced Liefeld has absolutely no idea how to draw people.
Nathan Rogers
Why would you want those, you already have the comics which are way better than any shitty focus tested movie At least with Rat Queens and Bomb Queen a TV show has the chance of turning them into something decent and entertaining
Ethan Wilson
>Bomb Queen I wonder if this book still triggers Sup Forums so much?
Jacob Ward
Wow look at that comic joke.
Us comic fans. Ha ha ha! "Jim Lee"!
Ethan Kelly
It's fucking great.
Gavin Martin
More like Ben-HURR DURR LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Elijah Price
>bomb queen TAS
This shit better be on a cable channel or something equally unrestricted. Censored Bomb Queen sounds like the most retarded idea ever.
Kayden Martinez
It kinda triggers me.
I read it all.
I don't know why I keep reading so many bad comics.
Ayden Scott
I've read it twice. The edgyness is hilarious.
>mfw Adventures of Bomb Loli never
Cooper Myers
I hope she's as funny as Deadpool.
Justin Adams
Who are the top 5 characters Rob ever created? 1. Cable 2. Domino 3. Deadpool 4. Avengelyne 5. Badrock?
Lucas Richardson
What about John Prophet?
Tyler Ortiz
>John wick with a fallen angel.
I don't think they have the writers who could pull that off. It'll be an underworld knockoff at best, and that's being optimistic.
Ryan Taylor
Ah yeas, Leifeld's Edgy Lobo. Anyone got the comic where he kills and eats two women? Good shit
Bentley Young
>John wick with a fallen angel. So they're ditching the swords and having her running around Mozambique Drilling demons? I'd watch that.
