What’s Happening:

20th Century Studios is reportedly looking to revisit critically acclaimed comics The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with a new featured set for Hulu.
Justin Haythe (Revolutionary Road, Red Sparrow) has been tapped to write the screenplay and Don Murphy, who produced the 2003 adaptation for 20th Century, is also attached as a producer.
Murphy’s producing partner Susan Montford and Erwin Stoff of 3 Arts Entertainment are also on board to produce.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen brings together famous literary characters as part of secret society to take on other, less savory figures from classic novels. Moore’s comics featured:
- Mina Murray
- Allan Quatermain
- Captain Nemo
- Dr. Jekyll
- The Invisible Man
- Fu Manchu
- Professor Moriarty
- War of the Worlds Aliens
Audiences may recall that in the 2003 feature—which starred Sean Conney in his last film role— several of the comic characters were included but also saw the addition of Tom Sawyer and Dorian Grey.
20th Century hasn’t indicated how many of the original figures will be brought back for the movie but THR notes that sources say Haythe and the creative team want to focus on the core comic books for this take.
