Superhero Hype! has learned that John Leguizamo (Spawn, Moulin Rouge!, Assault on Precinct 13) will star as the lead character, Bruce Lombardo, in an adaptation of the graphic novel Crisis, created, written and illustrated by Star Wars artist Matt Busch. The project is currently in development at Rebel Films.
In Crisis, the city of Detroit is filled with terror, as it appears the Zodiac serial killer has returned with a new prophecy after years of silence. Bruce Lombardo, special ops for the Macomb County Sheriff Department, follows the Zodiac’s encrypted puzzles though a series of tight situations. However, Lombardo’s action-paced world turns upside down when he tragically loses his legs. Forced to use classic methods of logic and deduction, Lombardo has a newfound passion to catch the vicious killer, leading him to many levels of cliffhanging excitement.
