Wednesday 12th March 2003: The Gargoyle Update: Columbia Pictures has reportedly hired Star Wars:
Episode II—Attack of the
Clones scribe Jonathan Hales to adapt the long-dormant
comic book The
Gargoyle. Hales, who also penned The Scorpion King,
said his script has
"actually very little connection" with the
Marvel comic book's storyline.
The original was penned by J.M. DeMatteis and drawn
by Mark Badger, and was published in a limited series
from June to September 1985. It followed a
human soul trapped within a Gargoyle's form. Hales described
his script as
"a mother/son tale" about a young, imaginative
boy who spends much of his
free time talking to a gargoyle statue on top of his
apartment building.
This gargoyle comes to life when a 100-year-old curse
is lifted, and it
begins a hunt for the talisman that will return it to
permanent
flesh-and-blood form.
