Screenwriter Mike Ferris has been tapped to adapt Juror 13, the graphic novel from TokyoPop, reports Heat Vision.
“Juror 13 is a sci-fi thriller that centers on an ordinary young man who is unwillingly exposed to an experimental brain scanning technology, driving him to madness and murder while he wonders if his world’s unravelling is just a figment of his imagination.”
It was written by D.J. Milky and illustrated by Japanese manga artist Makoto Nakatsuka.
Stu Levy, the filmmaker and entrepreneur who founded TokyoPop’s parent company Pop Media Group, will produce in association with China’s Artention Films.
Heat Vision explains that Ferris is veteran hand in the genre space having worked on Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines and Terminator 4: Salvation, as well as David Fincher’s The Game. He most recently wrote director Jonathan Mostow’s Hunter’s Prayer, a thriller starring Sam Worthington that just wrapped last month.
