Saw writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan have been hired to write the feature film adaptation of the comic book, The Stuff of Legend. They wrote seven of the eight Saw movies that were made. Pete Candeland will director the film, which is planned to blend both live action and CGI.
The comic was created by Mike Raicht and Brian Smith and illustrated by Charles Paul Wilson III. Here's the official description of the project, and it sounds like it will make for a great movie!
The year is 1944. An allied force advances along a war-torn beach in a strange land, outnumbered and far from home. Together, they fight the greatest evil they have ever known. Never ending waves of exotic enemies come crashing down on them, but they will not rest. Thousands of miles away, the world is on the brink of destruction. But here in a child's bedroom in Brooklyn, our heroes, a small group of toys loyal to their human master, fight an unseen war to save him from every child's worst nightmare.
Led by the toy soldier known as the Colonel and the boy's faithful teddy-bear named Max, the toys enter the realm known as The Dark. There they will face off against the Boogeyman and his army-- a legion of the boy's forgotten, bitter toys. Fighting to survive insurmountable odds, the toys will discover this is a battle not only for the soul of a child, but for their own as well.
