With disturbing regularity looking through industry news is beginning to feel like Groundhog Day. By that I don’t mean I get the all-encompassing sense of glee that permeates through my veins every time I see Bill Murray and Andie McDowell serenely skipping snow-drenched fences together at the end of Harold Ramis’ classic romance film. Instead, I refer to the depressing inevitability that comes with learning Hollywood’s creative bankruptcy means I must read about comic book adaptations on a nearly daily basis.

Todays news, via Slashfilm, is that Scarlet Fire Entertainment are developing an adaptation of Adam Hamdy’s Dare Comic property The Hunter. The lead character, this time an FBI agent, makes the surprising discovery that he has, you guessed it, extraordinary powers. Hamdy is to write an entirely new plot for this film using existing characters and is also set to produce.

Hamdy announced his excitement at the project stating: “We’re extremely pleased to be working with Scarlet Fire. They understood The Hunter immediately, and saw in it the potential to create a compelling new universe that loyal fans and newcomers alike will love seeing come to life on the screen.”
