Michael B. Jordan, pictured below, is a fine actor – one who hasn’t stuck to a typecast role or subgenre of film.
The star of Fantastic Four, Chronicle, Fruitville Station and upcoming Creed is said to be in negotiations to star in MGM’s vampire comedy Blood Brothers, a live action adaptation of the Dark Horse comic.
Here’s the comic synopsis: “Nick and Tree have smoked opium with Genghis Khan, had orgies in Michelangelo’s studio, and even fronted a death metal band. But after a century of friendship, these inseparable vampire buddies are on the verge of splitting up. Terrible timing, as an apocalypse-obsessed villain is plotting an end to humanity.”
Jordan’s in talks to nab the role of Tree, one of the key leads in the edgy two-hander, which follows two blood-sucking best friends whose relationship enters a crisis, explains this site.
Blood Brothers is pitched as Ghostbusters meets Men in Black.
The pic’s based on the Dark Horse comic series of the same name written by Hit List, Black List, and Young and Hungry List alums Mike Gagerman and Andrew Waller. Mike Richardson of Dark Horse Entertainment is producing the action/comedy, with Keith Goldberg overseeing. Matt Dines, Adam Rosenberg, and Jonathan Glickman are overseeing for the studio.
