Warner Picks Up Frank Miller’s Ronin

Posted by support@reallyscary.com (ReallyScary.com) on May 6, 2007 Variety reports Frank Miller has sold Warner Bros. another of his graphic novel classics for movie adaptation. With film successes of his other works - Sin City, 300 and technically the latest Batman origin flick is a takeoff of all the Dark Knight Returns stuff he did, a Sin City 2 is already in the works and now we'll get Ronin. In the story, a ronin, or disgraced samurai warrior, bears the shame of allowing his master to be assassinated by a shape-shifting demon in 13th century Japan. When the master's sword is unearthed in mid-21st century New York, the ronin and the demon are brought to life and battle gangs of mutants and thugs to try to take possession of the mythical sword. The graphic novel was published by DC Comics.
