Leslie Mann will star as one of four protagonists in Amazon's 10-episode adaptation of Naomi Alderman's The Power.
Amazon is turning Naomi Alderman's feminist science fiction novel The Power into a 10-episode series, with a stellar lead and talented director. According to Deadline, Leslie Mann has been cast as the lead in the adaptation, with Reed Morano (The Handmaid's Tale) behind the camera in the director's seat.
Alderman is adapting her own novel for the screen, along with an all-female writers' room, which is pretty damn awesome. The team will include: Claire Wilson, Sarah Quintrell, Whit Anderson, Stacy Osei-Kuffour and novelist Rebecca Levene (The Hollow Gods Trilogy).
The Power is set in a world where women suddenly develop the ability to release electrical jolts from their hand, leading them to become the dominant gender over men. The novel avoids essentializing women as nurturing, empathetic leaders,...

Writer Grant Morrison has confirmed he will adapt "Rogue Trooper" for actor Sam Worthington's Full Clip Productions.
The live-action feature will be based on stories debuting in the British comic "2000 Ad", (issue #228 -1981), created by Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons:

His comrades are in the form of biochips (onto which a G.I.'s entire personality is downloaded at the time of death for later retrieval) and are named 'Gunnar' (mounted on Rogue's rifle), 'Bagman' (on his backpack) and 'Helm' (on his helmet).
