Anonymous Content has optioned film rights to Tasty Bullet, a yet-to-be-published graphic novel by Jonathan Vankin and Arnold Pander about an insidious energy drink, reports Variety.
The story centers on the beverage children are guzzling worldwide; the young woman whose image promotes the product; and her discovery that the drink is actually brainwashing those consuming it.
The trade adds that the production/management company decided to snap up the rights because of the potential mass appeal of a female action hero in a sci-fi setting such as Paramount/MTV’s upcoming “Aeon Flux” and TV series such as “Alias” and “Dark Angel”.
