By Sunday, Wanted, a movie adapted from a graphic novel about cold-blooded assassins, had raked in $51 million during its opening weekend. On Monday, Lost star Matthew Fox was talking to Warner Bros. about starring in Billy Smoke, a movie based on ... a graphic novel about cold-blooded assassins.
Fox is seriously considering the project, which is adapted from the Oni Press comic about a hit man who decides to rid the world of his own kind after he realizes the error of his ways, Variety reports.
It's easy to picture Fox, who played the brooding Racer X in Speed-Racer earlier this summer, grimacing his way through the role.
Written by B. Clay Moore and illustrated by Eric Kim, Billy Smoke will not be published until next year, but movie execs got a sneak peek and evidently envisioned Fox as the lead.
