Xingu Films has acquired film rights to Pat Mills and Clint Langley’s upcoming graphic novel “American Reaper” says The Hollywood Reporter.
The story is set in a future where identity theft leads to victims having their minds erased and replaced by those of the elderly rich seeking a second youth or by criminals and terrorists with more sinister motives.
A team of special agents, known as Reapers, are formed to track down and terminate those responsible. The $50+ million film version will be adapted by Mills, but no cast or director are attached.
