Guillermo del Toro is in talks with Warner Bros. Pictures to bring cult DC Comics superhero
Deadman to the big screen, says the Hollywood Reporter.
Deadman is the ghost of a circus acrobat named Boston Brand, who was murdered during a trapeze performance. His spirit was granted the power by a Hindu goddess to possess any living being in order to find his killer. In the ensuing search, Brand finds himself obliged to help others.
