Well here’s a fun bit of news to help begin the onslaught of oncoming NYCC announcements.
As revealed at The Hollywood Reporter, it appears that RZA, whose directorial debut The Man with the Iron Fists, will be adapting a film version of Grant Morrison and Darrick Robertson’s Image mini, “Happy!” Morrison is currently set to write the script, and Reginald Hudlin is joining as producer.
The comic itself, which we reviewed quite favorably, follows Nick Sax, a hitman who has a botched hit and ends up seeing a tiny, blue talking horse named Happy. It’s also centered around Christmas, so it plays off with a dark twinge of It’s A Wonderful Life, if that movie took place in Gotham City.
Suffice it to say, expect this film to become a fast holiday classic.
