A very cool sounding property got snatched up at Comic-Con by the same folks who are currently prepping Y: THE LAST MAN and have flicks like THE RING and A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE on their resume. It’s called DRAFTED, based on the graphic novel by Mark Powers.
Here’s the deal:
An alien race known as the Benefactors arrive on Earth to help humanity defend itself from a massive invasion by another, more malevolent alien force. Social status no longer matters as every man, woman and child must now unite to save our world from annihilation as they are conscripted in a draft to battle the aliens.
Can you say “subversive political agenda?”
DRAFTED’s official site can be checked out HERE. Lookin’ cool to me, and it’s from Devil’s Due Publishing, the same house behind HACK/SLASH and THE LOST SQUAD.
