Jerry Bruckheimer Declaring ‘World War Robot’

Hollywood producer extraordinaire, Jerry Bruckheimer, has grabbed the rights to the graphic novel ‘World War Robot.’   The deal was finalized during last week’s Comic Con in San Diego.

Written and drawn by award-winning designer Ashley Wood, the graphic novel follows a small band of human and robots who do battle on Earth, on the Moon, and even on Mars.   The story is set near the tail-end of the larger war and also includes a bit of dark comedy along with epic battle sequences.

IDW Publishing, the rights owners for ‘World War Robot,’ is also home to the ’30 Days of Night’ comics.   Bruckheimer has a lot of high-profile projects in the pipeline including next year’s ‘Prince of Persia,’ a third ‘National Treasure’ film,   ‘The Lone Ranger,’ and a fourth entry in the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise.
