Scribe Chris Morgan who is responsible for the third FAST AND FURIOUS movie, TOKYO DRIFT, has now been tapped by Universal to adapt comic book THE PSYCHO. I gotta say the story line sounds awesome!
The story takes place on an alternate timeline where the US focused on creating a super-serum rather than developing the bombs that ultimately helped end WWII. Our superpowered soldiers killed Hitler in 1941 and proliferated ever since then. Known as F.C.O.s (Freelance Costumed Operatives), these “Psychos” now keep the country strong by dealing with enemies.
Jake Riley is an undercover intelligence agent assigned to collect data on these superbeings, but his cover is blown and his only chance of survival is to undergo the dangerous XDL treatment, which can result in painful death as easily as giving superhuman abilities. Jake survives the process and uses his newfound powers to uncover a conspiracy that goes (as they’re known to do) “all the way to the top”.
I definitely dig the concept. You’ll of course get more specifics on the project when we do.
