The Hollywood Reporter brings word that filmmaker Gina Prince-Bythewood has signed on to direct The Old Guard, an adaptation of the recent comic book series in development at Skydance.
Development on Silver & Black has hit snags along the way and while it’s stalled THR notes that Prince-Bythewood has jumped onto the fast-tracked Old Guard adaptation.
The Old Guard was created by Greg Rucka and artist Leandro Fernandez and tells the story of old soldiers who never die…and yet cannot seem to fade away.
David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger of Skydance are set to produce, reportedly hoping to begin filming this fall for a 2019 release date.
