Paramount has picked up rights to the Image comic book "Existence 2.0," with Miles Millar and Alfred Gough attached to adapt.
Platinum Dunes, the Paramount-based shingle run by Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller, is producing with Circle of Confusion's David Alpert.
The action comic, written by Nick Spencer with art by Ronald Salas and put out through Image's Shadowline imprint, centers on an amoral, self-absorbed physicist who finds his consciousness transferred into the body of the hitman who just killed him.
He begins enjoying the hitman's lifestyle until his daughter is kidnapped by the same people who "killed" him.
Gough and Millar are executive producing, as is Circle of Confusion's Rick Jacobs.
Gough and Millar, best known for bringing "Smallville" to television and movies like "Shanghai Noon," already are working with Bay; the duo are adapting the young-adult book "I Am Number Four," which Bay is producing for DreamWorks.
"Existence" represents an expansion of the types of projects on which Platinum Dunes is working. The shingle, primarily known for horror remakes, has "A Nightmare On Elm Street" opening April 30. "Existence" also is the first project Paramount has bought the shingle since signing it to a first-look deal.
Circle of Confusion is involved in the adaptation of Brian Michael Bendis' graphic novel "Fire" as well as cable network AMC's translation of comic book "The Walking Dead."
CAA, which repped the writers and producers, packaged the deal.
Borys Kit reported from Los Angeles; Jay A. Fernandez reported from Austin.
That plot is so confusing for a simple man like me who like a simple movie like a ones on this list

"Existence 2.0." is something of a departure for Platinum Dunes, which is primarily known for horror films like the upcoming "Nightmare on Elm Street" remake.

The Resident Evil series is one of the best movie series that came out in recent years. I am an avid fan of these movies and have watched every one of the installment. This movie looks like it is not the end of these series like what I expected. And this seems to have a Blade feel to it.
