"Button Man" Graphic Novel
After Drive’s Nicolas Winding Refn wraps up his his Thai boxing flick, Only God Forgives, the director’s next project may be The Killing Game for DreamWorks, which is based on a graphic novel called Button Man by Judge Dredd creator John Wagner and Arthur Ranson.
According to Empire, “It’s Red meets The Hunger Games!” The plot of The Killing Game involves millionaires who pay former cops and mercenaries to hunt one another to the death. Back in 2009, Screen Rant reported that Leonardo DiCaprio had signed to play Harry Exton – the main character in Button Man – who decides to break the game rules by going after the creators of the event. Judging from the cover of the graphic novel, DiCaprio definitely fits the bill.
