LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Mandalay Pictures has picked up the film rights to the graphic novel “Julius,” a modern re-imagining of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar.”
The Oni Press novel, written by Antony Johnston and illustrated by Brett Weldele, follows Julius, a London crime king who is beloved like royalty by the public. His generals, however, conspire against him.
F. Gary Gray (”The Italian Job,” “The Negotiator”) will direct the feature.
