From Comic to Big Screen comes Jack the Lantern

Castle Rain Entertainment has announced plans to bring their cult comic series JACK THE LANTERN onto the big screen and that the film has already been optioned for feature filming by producer Joe Aresco and producer/screenwriter Larry Koch.

Created and written by Michael Angelos JACK THE LANTERN follows Jack, a supernatural superhero on his quest for redemption. A one-shot JACK THE LANTERN: 1942 (origin piece) was published in December 2005 to get fans geared up for the new six issue mini-series (which is set to be released in mid 2006).

Personally, this is the first I've heard of this comic, but I'll be interested in seeing how this feature film will come along - just hope it wont be another SPAWN rip-off.
