Kevin Sorbo set for ‘Paradox’

Legacy Filmworks, Bron Management and Arcana Studios are teaming up to produce a string of movies based on comic book titles from Arcana. The first of the films is set to be ‘Paradox’ and will star Kevin Sorbo (Hercules). The film will be directed by Brenton Spencer (Stargate: Atlantis). The concept sounds cool, but will it actually get a theatrical release despite it’s made-for-TV star and director, or will it be fated for direct-to-DVD like ‘Mutant Chronicles’ appears to be headed?

Sorbo plays a homicide cop on a parallel Earth ruled by magic who investigates a series of murders committed by a previously unseen means: the power of science.

The slate’s other projects include “Chopper,” a thriller based on a Martin Shapiro comic that hopes to go before cameras next month, and “Sundown,” a Western vampire thriller, based on a Jay Busbee comic, which is scheduled for an April or May start. Future slate projects will be announced during the coming months.
