Hi gang, Greg Boone here again, your favorite, writer, artist to tell you the latest about my comic book “THE MONSTER POSSE”!
Well for the fourth time my comic book series “THE MONSTER POSSE” is being optioned for film/tv development by major Hollywood players. This time it looks better than before because we have the technology to pull off the special effects. I was surprised that several studios were always talking about “THE MONSTER POSSE” but didn’t know where I was. Weird. Anyhow I’ve got several studios asking and we’ll see how it goes. I’ll have to update it but I’m not going for my characters to be altered to the point of unrecognizability.
One thing that pleased me was that two actresses you’re all familiar with were recommended to play the starring role of Rosie, the young woman who is guardian to the Monster Posse kids. Alicia Keyes and Rosario Dawson’s names came up. It’s ironic because Dawson and her family are friends with my best pal Grey of greypublishing.com. I remember Dawson as a wee kid I saw a few times a long time ago. It would be ironic to see her star in the movie. Anyhow, I’m flattered that Monster Posse is being considered again and the original 76 page story is being prepped as an e-book! I may choose the WOWIO site to publish it as good ol’ Scott Rosenberg from Platinum Studios just bought WOWIO and is restructuring it. Fans know that it was Scott Rosenberg who first published “THE MONSTER POSSE” under his Malibu Comics label way back in the early 90′s. New Line Cinema was interested in “THE MONSTER POSSE” then and I ran into a couple of the folks who used to work at New Line Cinema and they told me how much they liked it. Scott also optioned “THE MONSTER POSSE” a few years ago again to bring it to film. So I feel comfortable with Scott and his new venture to show off the original series again.
Recently a lady contacted me about the action model kits of “THE MONSTER POSSE” that she found. She wanted to know how much she should charge for them on Ebay. I wanted to buy them right then and there because they’re of such high quality and rare.
So for now I’ll be waiting and seeing what’ll happen next to “THE MONSTER POSSE”. This time I’m going to be hands on in the development stage to make sure things go right. Stay tuned!
