We have news today that a film based on the comic book character Turok is in the works. We get the scoop from comingsoon:
MTV talked to Adam Beach (Flags of Our Fathers), who says a movie based on the comic book character and video game franchise “Turok” is in the works:
“We just finished the animated movie and now we’re going into the feature film movie [which should lens] hopefully in a couple years. We’re about to set up meetings to develop a script and put it out there,” Beach enthused. “I’ll have to beef up, and be a good guy, and save the world!”
I was introduced recently to the old school Turok comics by my friend Wintle. Turok fights dinosaurs with primitive weapons in a loincloth and doesn’t use huge fucking laser cannons. I hope they stick to the original comic book series and not the Valiant remake and/or the video game (as they are suggesting). A story about a native man that stumbles upon a lost world and has to do his best with his primitive means suits me just fine.
Dinosaurs should always be a threat, I don’t want weapons that make easy work of them. I want Turok to jump off a tree and shove sharpened sticks into the eyes of the beast and then spend months eating the meat and fashioning leather armor from his kill.
