BRIEFLY
* Claudio Sanchez and Evil Ink Comics have announced that they have partnered with Stephen Levinson's Leverage and Mark Wahlberg to develop the graphic novel series The Amory Wars into a live-action feature film.
Sanchez, the lead singer of progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria, originally created the story to serve as inspiration for the group's albums. He later expanded the mythology to other mediums, including comic books and graphic novels. In 2010, Sanchez collaborated with Peter David to write a full-length prose novel, Year of the Black Rainbow, which told the origin story of the series, and was released with the band's album of the same name.
The Amory Wars is an epic fantasy set in a futuristic alternate universe. The series chronicles the rise of superhuman dictator Wilhelm Ryan, and the one family that could hold the key to liberating the world from his tyrannical reign.
Coheed and Cambria are set to release a new studio album this fall.
* Cast for Cartoon Network's upcoming series Beware the Batman will include Anthony Ruivivar as Batman, Sumalee Montano as Katana, Kurtwood Smith as Commissioner Gordon and J.B. Blanc as Alfred.
