Uruloki reports that Alex de la Iglesia ("The Oxford Murders") is currently seeking three key actors for his next project - "The Yellow Mark".

Based on the comic, the story is a mystery set in 1950's London in which Captain Francis Blake and science professor Philip Mortimer look to identify a shadowy criminal known as The Yellow Mark.

The list of sought after thesps apparently includes Kenneth Branagh as Blake, David Thewlis as Mortimer and John Malkovich as Colonel Orlik.

Further details as this develops. Filming on the $33 million project will soon kick off in Spain for release next year.
