Virgin Comics is adapting comic "The Sadhu" as a film vehicle for Nicolas Cage reports Variety.

Cage will play James Jenson, a soldier who travels to India during colonial times and becomes a spiritual warrior. The story melds action with mythology from India.

Spiritual author Deepak Chopra will pen the script adaptation of the comic, created and written by Chopra's son.

Cage has also made a deal with Virgin Comics to publish "Enigma," a voodoo-laced thriller Cage hatched with his 15-year-old son and is planning as a potential feature.

"Enigma" revolves around a murder investigation in New Orleans, with a detective discovering the killings are directly related to the events of a fiery rebellion on a Southern plantation during the Confederacy.
