The American Way: Those Above and Those Below comic is set 10 years later, with the movie set in the year 1972.
The movie will be based on the 2007 limited comic book series The American Way: Those Above and Those Below, which was published as a six-issue monthly mini-series last year by DC Entertainment’s Vertigo label.
Director John Ridley is teaming up with producer Jason Blum and his Blumhouse Productions company for an adaptation of Ridley’s superhero comic book The American Way.
That series was written by Ridley and illustrated by George Jeanty, and was a follow-up to Ridley and Jeanty’s 2007 graphic novel The American Way, which was set in the 1960s.
