The Ultimates<\/em>), colored by Brad Anderson, and lettered by Rob Leigh.<\/p>\n\n\t\u201cAll great franchises are built on great characters and Redcoat\u2019s Simon Pure is one of them,\u201d Gartner said. \u201cFunny, charismatic, and lovably roguish, he anchors the IP fantastically.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tSaid Roven: \u201cI have known Geoff Johns for many years and in some cases had a front row seat to his excellent work in the DC world. Johns and Hitch have formed a brilliant collaboration as writer and illustrator of the Redcoat comics, which have become a top-selling fan favorite. Redcoat is innovative comic material and ripe to become a tentpole.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tFounded in October 2023,\u00a0Ghost Machine is the first-of-its-kind creator-owned and operated media company which generates, adapts, and controls its fully owned universes of original characters and stories. Beyond Johns\u2019 Redcoat<\/em>, his comic work for Ghost Machine includes the post-apocalyptic western Geiger<\/em> and the sci-fi Rook: Exodus<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\tRoven won the Best Picture Oscar for Oppenheimer<\/em>, and he and Gartner are producing the Amazon MGM Studios films Mercy<\/em>, starring Chris Pratt, Rebecca Ferguson, Kali Reis and Annabelle Wallis for early 2026, and are in production on the Michael B. Jordan-directed reimagining of\u00a0The Thomas Crown Affair<\/em> for 2027 and the sequel to the Road House <\/em>reboot with Jake Gyllenhaal reprising for an Amazon Prime Video release.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source deadline.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Atlas Entertainment and Ghost Machine have made a deal for a feature film adaptation of Redcoat, the comic series written by Geoff Johns (Aquaman, The Flash).
