The ’90s series The Maxx from Image Comics was turned into an animated series for MTV back in ’95, and up next it’s getting a brand new adaptation from producer Channing Tatum!
THR reports that Tatum and Roy Lee (It) are producing the adaptation of Sam Kieth’s comic series, though the site is unsure if it’ll be a movie or a new television series.
“The original series followed the adventures of The Maxx, who appears in both the real world and an alternate reality, the Outback.”
“In the real world, he is a homeless man living in a box but in the Outback, he is a powerful masked being who is the protector of the Jungle Queen. In the real world, the latter is a social worker named Julie Winters who frequently works to help the homeless man, unaware that the alternate reality exists and is exerting a dangerous influence on her life.”
It sounds like this one is in the very early stages of development, with no writer(s) or director(s) attached at this time. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
