The Times Online is reporting that Mark Millar is in final negotiations with Universal Pictures on an agreement that will bring Millar's Wanted comic book series, published by Top Cow, to the silver screen. Wanted, which posits a world in which super villains have dispatched all the super heroes and essentially rule the world, has done extremely well for Top Cow with the first two issues quickly becoming complete sell-outs. According to the Times, Marshall Mathers (aka Eminem) is very interested in the project and is close to signing on, which is only natural since artist J.G. Jones drew Wanted's protagonist, Wesley Gibson as the spitting image of the bad boy rapper.
