Nathan Fillion is already eyeing another major adaptation with Witness Point.
Penned by Fillion with DC veteran Heath Corson, the four-part miniseries is centered on a rural Wisconsin town known as Baraboo as they learn that many of them are members of the Witness Protection Program, creating an air of paranoia around them, all the more complicated when a U.S. Marshal's body is found decapitated. Published by Dark Horse Comics, Witness Point's current final chapter is set to arrive on November 25, but won't be the end.
During an appearance on the Patton Oswalt-hosted Comic Creators Block Party livestream, Fillion revealed that he just sealed a deal to bring Witness Point to life with a film adaptation at Lionsgate. Joined by his co-creator Corson and artist Soo Lee, the co-creator/actor cautioned that development is still in its early days at the studio, but that the team are all excited about the project, and even teased ideas being discussed to expand the source material:
Nathan Fillion: We sold the book, we’re going to see how it goes from there, to Lionsgate. We’re very excited. This is the thing, this plot, this idea, this whole concept is an engine that will keep this thing running. It’s got nothing but potential. You could go deep, you could go layers deep, flashbacks to the past, are you kidding?!
