The Hollywood Reporter confirms that New Regency has picked up the rights to
The New West; a comic book written by
All-Star Western co-writer Jimmy Palmiotti (with art from Phil Noto). Benderspink's Chris Bender, J.S. Spink and Jake Weiner are will produce alongside the former founder of Wizard Magazine, Gareb Shamus. Most exciting however is the fact that
Total Recall director Len Wiseman will also produce, although he isn't currently attached to direct the adaptation of the two-issue comic book series.
The New West focuses on disgraced former Los Angeles Police detective Daniel Wise and is set in a near future deserted hostile LA environment where the Mayor has been kidnapped and Wise is the only one who can save him..,with just a horse and sword.
