To most people, Mark Hamill disappeared after Star Wars, but he has been hiding in plain sight with many projects and is very much still active in “the biz”
Back in the late 90s, he even tried his hand at writing a very dark horror comic book called The Black Pearl (not to be confused with the Pirate ship) and now they are making this into a feature film with Hamill himself directing.
Hamill said the comic, which was published by Dark Horse Comics in 1996 and penned by Hamill and Johnson, is a “dark, edgy thriller” that the company hopes will receive an R rating.
“We started getting interest from some pretty big producers a while ago,” said Hamill of the “Pearl” material. “But then it started to take on a life of its own where it became this huge megabudget comicbook movie. This was the exact opposite of what we wanted to do.”
I like that he resisted the urge to bury this in a heap of money in the Hollywood machine to make a super low budget live action picture of his comic book material.
Lookig forward to seeing this happen.
Hope it’s good!
He comes off a little Creepy IMO.
But he’s behind the camera this time.
Great Voice over guy though
ok so i remember reading this when during my college years and its basically about this guy who stalks this chick but ends up saving her and becomes a huge overnight sensation in which the news tries to profit of off for ratings…..shit gets messed up fast and then people kinda make him look like a mtv movie award presenter and then something bad happens and they boo him like the end of the dark knoght yadda yadda ….thing is this movie has been seen alreasy in the form of batman and kick ass so people might think its a knockoff without out knowing the origins….btw Dark Horse comics has a lot of material like this.
Mark Hamill- the one and only Luke Skywalker. Also, one of the best voice over actors…his Joker is SPOT on. His Wolverine is pretty good too.
I don’t remember much about the comic, but I do remember I read it when I was a kid and that I loved it. Maybe I should try finding a copy to re-read at some point before the movie comes out, so I can actually be excited for it.
