Platinum Studios Bringing “Final Orbit” To Big Screen
According to Variety, Platinum Studios has teamed with Valhalla Motion Pictures to turn the thriller comicbook “Final Orbit” into a feature film.
The comicbook form of “Final Orbit” won’t be be published by Platinum Studios Comics until early next year, but the studio is already hot on the project. The comicbook tells the story of a lottery that gives thrill seekers a chance to vacation aboard a newly completed International Space Station. The vacations turn nightmarish for one group, however, after the station is damaged, trapping tourists in a crippled module with no trained astronauts to help them.
Valhalla chair Gale Anne Hurd and Platinum Studios chairman-CEO Scott Mitchell Rosenberg will produce.
Russell Gewirtz (Inside Man) will write the script. Gerwirtz’s most recent script credit is the Al Pacino/Robert De Niro starrer Righteous Kill.
Hurd’s Valhalla is a producer on Marvel Studios’ The Incredible Hulk, which opens June 13.
Platinum Studios controls a library of 5,600 comicbook characters and has numerous other comic-driven titles in development. They are currently teaming with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to produce Atlantis Rising at DreamWorks and Unique at Walt Disney Pictures.

Thinking about it, I guess I did read one comic book series - Ren & Stimpy - those were hilarious.
