New Line Aquire 'A History Of Violence'
[Friday, September 13th, 2002]New Line Cinema has acquired "A History of Violence," the first book in the Paradox Graphic Mystery line of books, reports Variety.
The second book in the series was "Road to Perdition," toplined by Tom Hanks and helmed by Sam Mendes, but the two have nothing to do with one another in terms of story.
Written by John Wagner (creator of comicbook series "Judge Dredd") and illustrated by Vince Locke, story is described as a modern-day "Unforgiven": Plot of the graphic novel follows an ordinary family's life after the father receives unwanted national attention for a seemingly vigilante self-defense killing at his diner, and his previously unknown past is dredged up.
