Oscar-nominated scribe Daniel Clowes ("Ghost World", "Art School Confidential") is adapting his Eisner-winning story "Death Ray" for Jack Black's Black and White company. Black will produce and take a small role reports Variety.
"Death Ray" was published in the most recent issue of Clowes' "Eightball" comic. Scribe plans to update the protagonist from a teenager to an older man who has to deal with having super powers while living a normal suburban life.
No helmer is officially attached yet. Clowes is also developing an adaptation of Rudy Rucker's "Master of Space and Time," with helmer Michel Gondry, who owns the rights.
