An article on screenwriter Jim Uhls in the LA Times lets out a bunch of news about the potential movie adaptation of REX MUNDI by Arvid Nelson and Eric Johnson. It seems JOHNNY DEPP may star in it.
Indiana Jones, meet Jack Sparrow. Jim Uhls, who successfully adapted the “unadaptable” Chuck Palahniuk novel “Fight Club,” has been hired to turn “Rex Mundi,” a series of graphic novels by Arvid Nelson and Eric Johnson, into a feature for Johnny Depp to star in and produce through his Infinitum Nihil (Infinite Nothing) production company.
“Rex Mundi” (King of the World) posits an alternate present of 1933 in which the Reformation never happened, the Inquisition is still in full swing, Europe remains dominated by the Catholic Church and the rest of the world consists of colonies. Depp, who became the biggest movie star in the world this summer by reprising his Keith Richards-inspired swashbuckler, would play a pathologist investigating the mysterious death of the priest who found him as an orphan.
“It’s a noir-ish ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark,’ ” Uhls says. “There are murders and a mystery, and the lead character discovers a massive conspiracy, biblical in its origin.”

Did you hear? Johnny Depp may star in REX MUNDI.
We said, Johnny Depp may star in REX MUNDI!
REX MUNDI is now published by Dark Horse, after starting out at Image.
Congrats to Eric J and Arvid. They’ve been hustling for a while and you can’t ask for a bigger payout then this (esp. if it’s good!)
Isn’t Depp supposedly playing Madman, if Robert Rodriguez would ever get around to making it? Depp’s plate is filling up, so it may never happen with him as the lead. Poop.
