The Arizona Wildcat offers an interview with Jim Uhls, the screenwriter who is working to adapt the Rex Mundi graphic novels into into a screenplay for Johnny Depp's production company, Infinitum Nihil."It's based on a series of graphic novels that are still coming out, says Uhls, and books one two and three we are collecting as chapters. Some things we are keeping and some things we are changing, but the basic premise is that it's set in the present time but it's an alternative present. By that I mean history happened differently to lead up to the present time. The Catholic Church remained in power over in Europe; the monarchies in Europe are still in control of the rest of the world, most of which are colonies. The inquisition is going on, and there is an internal, deep, complicated mystery that the lead character starts to unravel. I changed that mystery entirely from the graphic novel and in doing so created alot of work for myself. (Laughs)"
When asked when this film will be finished and released in theaters, Uhls didn't have a deffinite answer, but his best guess was possibly sometimes in 2008 at the earliest.
