Mark Hamill Comic

Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, is in talks of directing a comic book movie. Hamill has created and written a comic entitled "The Black Pearl" about a guy named Luther Drake who is quite troubled and becomes a costumed vigilante by accident. Sounds a little like "Kick-Ass" but I'm sure it's different and unique in its own way. If Hamill can keeps it at a "low-budget" he will direct and have more creative control. He recently said this about the comic movie:

“My two co-writers wrote a David O. Russell film for Paramount,” he said, “and now they’re very hot. So now there are people who are willing to give us $30 million to make the movie. But if we took that deal, I wouldn’t get to direct."

“If you go over about $8 million, you have to start getting foreign sales before you start shooting. But if you stay in the $5-to-$7 million range, you don’t have to do presales and you can maintain much more creative control.”
