Jack Black’s Black and White production company will produce Death Ray. Death Ray is Daniel Clowes’ Eisner-winning story and Oscar-nominated screenwriter will adapt his own story to the bigscreen, says Variety.
Death Ray was published in the most recent issue of Clowes' Eightball comic. Clowes plans to update the protagonist from a teenager to an older man who has to deal with having super powers while living a normal suburban life.
''I like the idea of him as a cranky 48-year-old man," Clowes said. "Using his powers to throw kids off his lawn."
No helmer is officially attached yet however Jack Black is expected to take a small role in the pic.
