A big screen comic book movie still appears to be in his future, however, as The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Famuyiwa has entered talks to helm Columbia Pictures‘ Son of Shaolin, based on the upcoming original graphic novel from Image Comics.
You’ll be able to read Son of Shaolin yourself when the original graphic novel hits shelves September 20.
Although he was attached for several months to The Flash, Dope director Rick Famuyiwa departed the DC Comics adaptation late last year.
Son of Shaolin offers a kung-fu epic set in the back alleys and subway tunnels of Harlem, New York.
