“10TH MUSE” INSPIRES CASTLEBRIGHT STUDIOS WITH A
FILM OPTION!
CastleBright Studios has optioned “10th Muse”
comic book series by Darren G. Davis and Blue Water Productions. The
popular comic book series has just been optioned by producers Jay Douglas
& Nav Gupta and their newly formed NBC/U-based CastleBright Studios.
Created by Darren G. Davis (The Legend of Isis, Ray Harryhausen Presents
and Judo Girl), the “10th Muse” is vastly unique in the
comic book universe with its deeply enriched themes of Greek mythology.
The “10th Muse” debuted in 2002 by breaking records as the
6th highest selling comic, outselling nearly every Marvel and DC property
and has been flying off book shelves ever since. Darren G. Davis knows
how to build compelling characters and stories ripe for the big screen,
as his The Legend of Isis is currently at Paramount Pictures. Greek
mythology has documented the nine Muses, the inspirational daughters
of the almighty god Zeus. But history forgot one the 10th Muse. Emma
Sonnet, mysteriously disappeared five years ago during a summer trip
to Greece celebrating her graduation from law school. Yesterday, she
resurfaced just as mysteriously as the newly appointed District Attorney,
with a unique take on the law. Battling evil in the courtroom by day
and in the shadows at night, Emma Sonnet is tipping the scales of justice
her way, as the “10th Muse”. Davis who is managed by Golden
House Entertainment says,”CastleBright shares my vision for this
to become a film and I am excited to be a part of this”. Douglas
and Gupta freshly set up shop at NBC/Universal, and even without a formal
deal, they are quickly establishing themselves as adventure guys, recently
picking rights to the best-selling Scorpion novel and the internationally-acclaimed
Broken Sword video game series. "We know there were many suitors
vying for this property, but somehow the Greek Gods smiled upon us."
said Gupta from CastleBright. Talks have already begun with starlets
for the headliner role.
