Mandalay Turning Hindu Graphic Novel Into Major Film

October 7, 2008 by Sam Sloan   || Category: Film

Mandalay Pictures has picked up film rights to Liquid Comics’ 2006 graphic novel “Ramayan 3392 AD” from Deepak Chopra and will be turning the story into a major motion picture.

“Ramayan” has already been transported from the page into a successful MMORP by Sony in 2007.

Based on an epic Hindu poem, the story follows the exploits and adventures of Prince Rama, India’s legendary blue-skinned warrior, on a quest to rescue his wife from the clutches of a demon king.

Scribe John Collee (”Happy Feet,” “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,” “Creation”) has been tapped to adapt the graphic novel for the screen.

Stay tuned to Slice of SciFi for updates.
