Madonna & Tarantino to Executive Produce New Marvick Film, Fri May 2, 5:47 PM ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - As "Spider-Man" swings into movie theaters this weekend, filmmaker Quentin Tarantino plans to bring another comic book adaptation to the silver screen.
Tarantino will serve as executive producer of a film based on "Mort: the Dead Teenager," Tarantino's publicist Bumble Ward said on Friday. Madonna (news - web sites)'s Maverick Films will produce the movie.
Mort descends in the Netherworld and meets Teen Death, the son of the Grim Reaper, and "the two of them get into all sorts of trouble," said Zachary Feurer, a producer at Maverick Films. "Mort convinces Teen Death to return to high school with him so he can win back the girl of his dreams, even though he's dead."
London-based Madonna was introduced to the British series three years ago and expressed her interest in producing Mort already last year. "I liked the whole story of Mort right from the start, the whole death thing, it`s dark but it`s also humorous. I would love to take part in it."
Madonna will also appear alongside Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry in the upcoming James Bond movie "Die Another Day". She will also produce and sing the title track. The Mort movie will be quite different though: "The film is a completely unique look at adolescence as seen through the eyes of a fantasy. It speaks to teen-agers everywhere," Feurer said. "It's a teen comedy with a 'Beetlejuice' sensibility."
Actress Dominique Swain, who starred in "Lolita," and Elijah Wood, who recently appeared as the young hobbit Frodo in "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," are being considered for the lead roles, Feurer said.
Director Ang Lee is currently working on "The Hulk" a film based on the Marvel comic, starring Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Connelly and Eric Bana from "Black Hawk Down." "The Hulk" started filming near San Francisco in April and is expected to be released in June 2003.
