Reports are that Bryan Edward Hill has been picked out to rewrite Just Cause: Scorpion Rising. Michael Ross (Touristas) wrote the first draft of the project.
The Just Cause movie is said to focus on the origin of the protagonist of the series: agent Scorpion, aka Rico Rodriguez. The game adaptation is being produced by Adrian Askarieh and Eric Eisner, who will produce via their respective companies Prime Universe Productions and Double E Pictures and are packaging and developing the project before taking it to studios.
Hill co-wrote the Witchblade mini-series for Top Cow Broken Trinity: Pandora’s Box. He also co-created the Image comic 7 Days From Hell, being developed for the screen, which became his entry into Hollywood since he was hired to write the adaptation, selling a spec script to Universal and recently set up a pitch at Paramount.
