Actor Mark Hamill is set to direct a film adaptation of his 1996 Dark Horse Comics mini-series The Black Pearl reports The Wrap.
The comic dealt with Luther Drake, a troubled man turned costumed vigilante "hero" through accident and media pressure.
Hamill says his two co-writers also wrote a "David O. Russell film for Paramount ", he's likely referring to Paul Attanasio and Lewis Colick who penned the upcoming Christian Bale/Mark Wahlberg-led "The Fighter".
Hamill says although he was offered $30 million to make it, he's keeping the budget in the $5-7 million range as it allows him to direct it and doesn't have to line-up foreign sales before filming begins - thus giving him much more creative control.
