Options can be had a dime a dozen, and there’s no guarantee that once a film is optioned that it will be made into a movie. According to Variety, Producer Lionel Wigram has picked up the rights to Jeff Smith’s RASL series.
The title character is a former military scientist who’s become an art thief with the ability to hide out in parallel worlds.
Wigram is the producer of the Sherlock Holmes movies, and he does have experience with comic book to movie adaptations, so here’s hoping RASL gets made, and is a huge success.
