No, it’s not the
actualization of Donald Kaufman’s screenplay from Adaptation. We3 is the
latest project in development with
Don Murphy,
producer of
Transformers
and Shoot ‘Em Up. Wait until you hear the pitch.
"It’s the most insane mash up
you’ve ever heard," said Murphy. "It’s
The Incredible
Journey meets
Terminator and
Watership Down.
There’s three animals: a dog, a cat and a rabbit who have been turned into
Terminator cyborgs by the government. They get loose and they just want to get
home, and the government is doing everything possible to stop them but they’re
heavily armed killing animals."
Adapted by Grant Morrison from his own graphic novel, Murphy hopes to attach a director and move
into production before the June strike deadlines. "We’re this close to having a
director sign onto that which hopefully we’ll make. We like to do things that
nobody’s seen before. If we can pull off the killer robot animals, that you’ve
never seen before."
Murphy’s wife and producing
partner
Susan
Montford suggested there is a sensitive side to We Three. "It’s very
beautiful as well," she said. "It’s a real tear jerker if you can imagine."
