Producer Adrian Askarieh and director Todd Lincoln (The Apparition) have announced plans to adapt the “Danger Girl” comic series to the big screen. Introduced in 1998 by artists J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell, Danger Girl follows a group of elite, half-naked, big-breasted secret agents as they engage in death-defying missions to keep the world at peace.
Askarieh tells the LA Times:
First of all, we are taking these characters very seriously; a kind of “Batman Begins” approach, if you will. Also, Todd has a very interesting aesthetic approach to this project, which will actually inform the tone of the storytelling and the movie as a whole.
Without giving too much away, he wants to use the technology similar to that used in “Avatar” to bring Campbell’s characters and world to life and yet, at the same time, have the audience fully recognize and be emotionally invested in the actors playing those characters.
His approach, in both the look and the tone for “Danger Girl,” is what I call the anti-“Charlie’s Angels” and feels more like next-step progression from what I hear Zack Snyder is doing with “Sucker Punch,” visually speaking.
Y’all may not know this, but “Danger Girl” has been a big part of my life. You see, I grew up poor on a bayou in New Orleans. My old man caught catfish for a living. Though he worked hard to provide for us kids, we had to do without some of life’s bare essentials, namely porn.
Finding quality stroke-material is never easy when you’re broke. Unlike most, I couldn’t just log on to the internet and look up bestiality, golden showers, and truly twisted shit like interracial porn. Often times my brother and I would have to split the centerfold from our daddy’s Playboy.
I always got stuck with the bottom part of the model, which probably explains my fascination with female dismemberment. Times were rough. Sometimes, I would only masturbate once a day.
Then, one fateful day, I discovered a sexy “Danger Girl” comic inside the belly of an eight-foot croc I intended to make a belt from and everything changed. I am so looking forward to this flick.
