IESB.net<\/a> reports that various movie studios, emboldened by the success of 300<\/a><\/i>, are vying for the film rights to another graphic novel about an ancient battle of epic, even mythical, proportions, by the name of War in Heaven<\/i> \u2014 which, alas, seems to have no connection to the Charles Williams<\/a> novel of that name<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Trac 2 Media, is developing a feature film adaptation of the forthcoming comic book series \u201cWar in Heaven.\u201d The project has been dubbed \u201cthe next 300.\u201d The comic book series, created by producer Jeff Krelitz, is scheduled to be co-written by screenwriter Craig Fernandez, fresh off adapting Arthur C. Clarke\u2019s Time\u2019s Eye for Sci-Fi Channel and comic book legend Keith Giffen. Ex Machina co-creator and Eisner award winning artist Tony Harris is drawing the book. <\/p>\n

Talk of the town is that several major comic book publishers, one being D.C. Comics, along with several studios were vying for the rights to \u201cWAR IN HEAVEN\u201d this past weekend.<\/p>\n

The details of the story are guarded, but we know that War in Heaven centers on a Braveheart-like storyline that ultimately follows Lucifer as he leads a rebellion in Heaven. Battle sequences shows legions of Angels, including Gabriel and Michael, battling with their brother Lucifer and his army of fallen Angels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds interesting. But wait \u2014 wouldn\u2019t this movie be essentially competing with Scott Derrickson\u2019s Paradise Lost<\/a><\/i>?<\/p>\n
