Crosshair is about a former CIA assassin who "faces his most dangerous enemy ever -- himself." After learning that in 48 hours a trigger in his brain will turn him into a mindless killer with the president of the U.S. as his target, he embarks on a mission to find out who did this to him and how he can stop it before it's too late. Think The Manchurian Candidate meets 24.
Crosshair, which was created by Marc Silvestri, written by Jeff Katz, and illustrated by Silverstri and Allan Jefferson.
Mandeville picked up the comic during last year’s Comic Con, intent on developing the property as a film. In January, it set Foehl to write the script.
Summit is in the midst of making deals for the rights to the comic, the producers and writer.
Top Cow’s Marc Silvestri and Matt Hawkins are exec producing along with Mandeville’s David Manpearl. Jeff Katz, who wrote the comic with Silvestri, is co-producing.
