Variety is reporting that New Regency has acquired the screen rights to the Radical Publishing comic book series Freedom Formula: Ghost of the Wasteland, which will be developed as a directing vehicle for helmer Bryan Singer (X-Men, X-Men 2, Superman Returns). Michael Finch is writing the screenplay and Fox will distribute the film. With distribution in place, a studio behind it, and a top line director attached, Freedom Formula appears to have a decent chance to make it to the big screen.
Singer will also produce the film along with Radical’s Barry Levine. They have been working on the project since the comic book debuted last year at
