Afterburn From Red 5 Comics To Be A Movie?
 Posted By Mike on March 27, 2008
Afterburn from our friends at Red 5 Comics (written by Scott Chitwood and Paul Ens and drawn by Wayne Nichols) looks like it may be getting the movie treatment. See below for an excerpt from an article at The Hollywood Reporter:
"Tobey Maguire and Neal Moritz are teaming up for "Afterburn," an adaptation of a comic book published by newbie company Red 5 Comics. Rights to the film are being picked up by Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity Media.
Maguire would produce through his Maguire Entertainment banner and Moritz through his Original Films shingle.
The book, whose first issue hit stands in January, is a sci-fi adventure set against the backdrop of a postapocalyptic Earth, whose Eastern Hemisphere was destroyed by a massive solar flare, leaving what life remains mutated from radiation and fallout. The story revolves around a group of treasure hunters who for the right price extract such objects as the Mona Lisa, the Rosetta Stone and the Crown Jewels while facing rival hunters, mutants and pirates along the way.
Red 5 Comics was created by Paul Ens, former director of Lucasfilm's StarWars.com and Lucas Online, and Scott Chitwood, co-founder of TheForce.net and contributor to ComingSoon.net and SuperHeroHype.com. The company, based in Calgary, Alberta, began publishing its first books in the fall."

Congrats to Paul and Scott!
