Mandalay Turning Hindu Graphic Novel Into Major 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.
