I am excited as hell about this one. MovieWeb reports: John Wells and Don Murphy, through their respective companies John Wells Prods. and Angryfilms, have teamed up to develop the independent comic The Forgotten for the big screen.
Ok, so what’s the big deal right? Just another little indie comic that gets a movie deal that may or may not ever actually make it to the screen. Well… the big deal is that the story has a fantastic and very unique angle to it. The synopsis looks like this:
the comic centers on a man who, no matter what he does or whom he meets, is forgotten five minutes later. While it gives him great power and leeway as far as investigations and problem-solving, it leaves him incredibly alone. When the son of a long-lost friend is charged wrongly with murder, he uses his powers to get to the bottom of a conspiracy.
I love it! It’s almost like a reverse Memento. This one is going to stay on my radar!
