One of the many projects on Guillermo del Toro‘s back burner is a DC Comics adaptation called "Deadman," and it looks like the movie geek genius has found himself a screenwriter to help get the ball rolling.
From Variety: "Warner Bros. has hired tyro scribe Gary Dauberman to work with director-producer Guillermo del Toro in penning the script for the bigscreen adaptation of DC Comics’ "Deadman." Project is a potential directing vehicle for del Toro, who is producing with Angry Films’ Don Murphy and Murphy’s partner Susan Montford.
Deadman is the ghost of a murdered circus acrobat who has the power to possess the living in order to seek out his killer, as well as to help the innocent. Dauberman impressed "Deadman" producers with a spec script he had written for a Western zombie pic."
("Tyro" means "first-time.")
