Producer Lloyd Levin has landed the film rights to part of Matt Wagner's classic 1980's comic book Mage reports Variety. Levin acquired the rights to the fifteen-book collection that makes up " The Hero Discovered" story arc.
A reinterpretation of the Excalibur legend, the story follows an alienated young man who learns he has superhuman abilities. With the help of a magic baseball bat, he must stop the evil Umbra Sprite.
The project was previously in development with Zack Snyder attached to direct.
Levin and Andrew Cosby will produce Mage and a writer is close to being hired to pen the adapted script...
This was one of my favorite tales as a teenager!
