Last year, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg signed on to write and direct Invincible for Universal Pictures. The Image Comics series is written by The Walking Dead scribe Robert Kirkman and wraps up later this year. It's a violent, humorous, and action-packed series which feels like a perfect fit for the big screen and it's easy to imagine the Preacher team doing oretty great things with the beloved property.
In a new interview, they were asked about their plans for the movie, and Goldberg promised that while we're getting a faithful adaptation, some changes are being made so it works in a live-action setting.
"We are definitely telling the classic story of Invincible, the filmmaker explained, "and we are doing some directorial things that will make it more dynamic than just the straight-up story. We’ve come up with some conventions that I think will make it a more cinematic experience that fits in the timeframe more. But we’re not reinventing the wheel here, we’re not going to massively change Invincible. The core story of that comic and the core characters are what makes it great."
That hopefully means it won't be too grounded and that we're still going to see all the crazy and colourful characters who make the comic book series so great. With so much story crammed into that, though, it will need to be trimmed down and changed, so that's where these two clearly come in. Are you guys excited for Invincible? Be sure to let us know your thoughts on that in the comments section.
