“Watchmen” producer Lloyd Levin has purchased the rights to produce a big-screen adaptation of Terry Moore’s “Echo,” Variety reports.
“Echo” tells the story of a photographer who is preoccupied with her personal problems until she gets doused by liquid metal from a military experiment gone awry. She discovers she can now harness the power of a nuclear bomb, and soon the military wants its walking weapon.
According to the trade paper, the deal was north of six-figures.
Levin has also served as producer on both “Hellboy” movies.
No word yet on a script, director or star for the film.
