This past weekend, it was announced that actor Mark Wahlberg (via iO9) would be producing a brand new comic book series titled Alien Bounty Hunter.
Alien Bounty Hunter, against all odds, emerges as a surprise hit of the independent comic world and a major studio wins the rights to adapt the film for the big screen… and then casts someone other than Mark Wahlberg in the title role.
If you have an idea for an Alien Bounty Hunter movie franchise, why not pitch that to studios?
Then again, why do all that research when you can simply hire people to write a comic book for you?
