KILLER STUNTS LAUNCHESKiller Stunts, Inc., a comic series proposal that was previewed at Comic-Con International last summer by creator Scott Alan Kinney and then optioned for film/TV development by Chuck Gordon's Daybreak Prods. and Adrian Askariehıs Prime Universe Prods. is set for an official series launch with comic book publisher DPG Visions. DPG Visions co-founder Leo Partible has teamed with Kinney as co-writer on the series, and co-producer on the in-development film.

Here's how the book is described: "The series tells the story of Billy Andrews, a Hollywood stuntman who is struggling to keep his fledgling stunt company, Killer Stunts, Inc., afloat in the new age of CGI-dominated special effects. As a result, Billy takes an assignment from a covert government agency, not knowing he is being used as a pawn in a vast conspiracy. In over his head, the daredevil-for-hire re-teams with his former mentor, John Lynch, an aging legend in the stunt community, and is forced to utilize all his 'tricks of the trade' to not only stay alive, but to stop the bad guys from pulling off a major heist. Kinney and Partible wrote the initial film treatments under the supervision of producers Gordon and Askarieh during the first phase of the film's development process. Gordon, whose producer
credits include Die Hard and Field of Dreams, and Askarieh are also currently prepping the
Universal picture Spy-Hunter for a 2004 start date with The Rock attached to star and John Woo
attached to direct. The next development phase for Killer Stunts, Inc. was accomplished when the
producers brought in a screenwriter and director to collaborate on the project. Kinney and
Partible then adapted their screen treatment into the comic book mini-series.
