Fox is planning a new feature film based on the long-running Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill graphic novel series League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, according to Deadline.  The film will be a reboot and have no connection to Fox’s 2003 film, which did about $178 million worldwide. 

The property remains potent in comic stores, where the most recent graphic novel, Nemo: River of Ghosts, topped the graphic novel chart in March (see “Comic Market Up Nearly 10% in Q1”). 

The last attempt to develop the property was as a TV series, for which a pilot was ordered in 2013 (see “Fox Orders ‘League of Extraordinary Gentlemen’ Pilot”).  Moore, of course, panned the idea (see “Predictable Reactions Dept.:  Alan Moore Rips ‘LOEG’ TV Series”), saying that this proved that Hollywood was now “recycling things that have already proven not to work.”  The pilot was eventually rejected by the studio, and Fox is now turning its efforts back to a film version.
