Attack the Block director Joe Cornish has now been tapped to helm an adaptation of comic book icon Mark Millar's Starlight for 20th Century Studios. Known for the likes of Wanted, the Kingsman franchise and Kick-Ass, Starlight is one of several adaptations of Millar's work making the jump from ink to live action.
Debuting back in 2014, Starlight is a six-issue limited series from Image Comics, written by Mark Millar with art by Goran Parlov. The story centers on Duke McQueen who, forty years ago, was a space hero who saved the universe. But then he came back home, got married, had kids, and grew old, and no one believes his fantastical story. Now his children have left and his wife has died, leaving him alone with nothing except his memories...until a call comes from a distant world asking him back for his final and greatest adventure.
