Several of these comic books have been in development at studios before. Most recently Mouse Guard nearly made it to production at 20th Century Fox before Disney pulled the plug at the last-minute, with some test footage released. The Goon has been in development for years with producer Tim Miller (Deadpool) financing an amazing test reel and crowd funding an animatic of the whole film with Clancy Brown voicing the title tough guy. In the early 2000s David Fincher was set to direct Frank Miller’s Hard Boiled with Nicolas Cage to star, but more recently director Ben Wheatley and his High-Rise lead Tom Hiddleston have been attached. Fincher was also attached to a movie version of Black Hole with Neil Gaiman scripting, but it ultimately fell apart, though Ghost in the Shell director Rupert Sanders made an unauthorized short in 2011. In 2016 screenwriter Emily Carmichael was attached to helm a Lumberjanes movie at Fox, but she is no longer attached. Director Mark Osborne was attached to an animated version of Jeff Smith’s Bone (the first of a trilogy) in 2016, though nothing has been heard of the project since. Saga creators Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples have already stated that they have no interest in a film or TV adaptation until after the story’s run is complete.
