City of Heroes Optioned for Movie, Television

Posted by Zonk on from the strange-days-are-made-of-this dept.

The Sci-fi Channel site has word that Cryptic Studios' City of Heroes title has been optioned as a movie or television series. The rights were picked up by Tom DeSanto, producer for the upcoming Transformers film. The plan (such as it is) is to make a motion picture, and then transfer the series to a TV format. The original news is from the industry trade Variety, but that article doesn't appear to be available online yet.

    So that means it'll be canceled in the middle of a storyline?

      Yes, and at the peak of popularity... or at least the percieved peak since the show isn't allowed to continue. But lets be fair, Sci-Fi needs to keep the schedule clear for all those great mini-series they want to do... oh yes, endless mini-series.

    Who'd want to watch a movie where the first 55 minutes are spent tweaking the size, shape, and costume of the main characters, and then it gets boring and repetitive...
