Bloody Disgusting learned today that Beacon Pictures is currently developing a feature film based on F. Paul Wilson's REPAIRMAN JACK. The story is said to be a "contemporary" INDIANA JONES set in New York City where a charismatic NYC repairman battles evil forces to protect an innocent girl. The original script was written by Craig Spector (Animals), Scott Nimerfo and Trevor Sands, with the rewrite being done by Chris Morgan. Watch for more on this soon.
Never heard of the character, but it sounds a little bit like Ash from Evil Dead and Jack Brooks/ Monster Slayer. The everyday repairman, plumber, housewares guy that fights evil. Sound familiar ???
Yeah, this has been in talks forever, I dunno if it'll actually happen. Wasn't there news on F. Paul Wilson's site about Vince Vaughn or someone wanting to play the part of Jack? Blarugh. And Jack is "charismatic"? Errr, isn't he actually kinda, you know, CRAZY? And to Jonny Horror--- Repairman Jack isn't ACTUALLY a repairman. It's just a title he uses as a cover. He fixes "situations" (kidnappings, extortion, revenge)... the repairman title is kinda like Leon in "the Professional" being called a cleaner instead of a hitman. :) Awesome books, check 'em out.
