Earlier this year, it was reported that Arcana Comics and Benderspink were teaming up to launch the label ArcanaBenderspink, which would produce comic books that can be adapted to film or television (click here for the full list of comics). One of these is the graphic novel The Order, in which "The Vatican has created an elite group of agents to travel the world and combat supernatural forces.". Now, Deadline reports that Scott Stuber's Bluegrass Films (who are coming off of Ted and recently wrapped Identity Thief) has optioned the planned film adaptation. Brian Nathanson (The Many Deaths Of Barnaby James) is set to write the script.

Stuber will produce The Order with Benderspink, and the project will be overseen by Bluegrass Films' Michael Clear and Nick Nesbitt and Benderspink's Jake Weiner and Christopher Cosmos. Arcana's Sean O’Reilly will serve as an executive producer.

Do you plan on checking out this film adaptation?

the was a Heath Ledger movie that came out in 2003 called the Order Alex Bernier (Ledger) is a member of an arcane order of priests known as Carolingians. When the head of the order dies, Alex is sent to Rome to investigate mysterious circumstances surrounding the death. The body bears strange marks on the chest which may or may not be the sign of a Sin Eater (Furmann), a renegade who offers absolution, last rites and therefore a path to heaven outside the jurisdiction of the church. Alex enlists the aid of his old comrade Father Thomas (Addy) and of a troubled artist (Sossamon) upon whom he once performed an exorcism. He soon finds himself plunged into a mystery only to find himself at the heart of it.
