‘Nimona’ to be adapted into a film by Fox Animation

Nimona is preparing for another transformation.

Fox Animation is set to adapt the Web comic series as a feature film, Hero Complex has confirmed.

While the movie market is flooded with comic book adaptations, “Nimona� is very distinct from superhero titles such as “Avengers: Age of Ultron� and the upcoming “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice� that make up the majority of these films.

Set in a mash-up futuristic medieval world where both magic and science reign, “Nimona,� created by writer and illustrator Noelle Stevenson, follows the titular shape-shifter and her supervillain mentor Lord Ballister Blackheart who is on a quest for noble vengeance.

“‘Nimona’ was a story that I felt very passionately about,� Stevenson told Hero Complex in a previous interview. “I didn’t want to compromise on the narrative for anybody. I just wanted to tell the story I wanted to tell and put it out there and have people read it and whatever would follow from that would follow.�

Launched in 2012, the Harvey and Eisner Award-nominated “Nimona� was collected as a single volume that was released in May.

“Feast� director Patrick Osborne has been tapped to helm the adaptation, which will be penned by “Kubo and the Two Strongs� screenwriter Marc Haimes. Roy Lee and Adam Stone are attached to produce the project.
