Kotto To Adapt Stan Lee's 'God Woke' Poem

[Monday, June 17th, 2002]
Actor Yaphet Kotto has signed on to bring Stan Lee's 35-year-old poem "God Woke" to the big screen, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Kotto will adapt and star in a feature film version of Lee's poem.

"This is a natural evolution for me," Kotto said. "Stan Lee is a visionary who understands the value of heroes and superheroes in today's society, and I have been endeavoring to bring that mythological sense into films and television for my entire career."

A veteran of 47 films, including "Alien," "Live and Let Die" and "Midnight Run," Kotto is best known for his role on NBC's "Homicide: Life on the Street."

Production is scheduled to begin in spring 2003.
