Reporting on David Fincher’s proposed adaptation of the graphic novel, “Torso” is a little bit like a furious ping-pong match with so much back and forth, you’re probably getting as tired about it as we are. Anyhow, the last update was last week when producer Bill Mechanic said the project would happen even if the rights had recently lapsed.
MTV caught up with “Torso” co-creator and writer Brian Michael Bendis at NY Comic Con and he basically said, don’t hold your breath. According to MTV the rights on the project have reverted back to Bendis and his co-writer Marc Andreyko. Bendis has been through so much bullshit in Hollywood he wrote a book about it. So he’s not expecing “Torso” anytime soon. “Having been through what I’ve been through and having written a book on it, I’ll believe it when we’re recording the DVD commentary.”
