Pyangyong and Mind MGMT to Hit the Big Screen

Coming off his upcoming western adventure film The Lone Ranger, director Gore Verbinski is now set to helm and produce a feature adaptation of the North Korea-based graphic novel Pyongyang by Guy Delisle.

EW.com reports that Verbinki's Blind Wink shingle will be teaming up with New Regency for the picture, which is described as "outsourcing run amok when a young animator sent to North Korea is accused of espionage."

Meanwhile, 20th Century Fox has landed the movie rights to Mind MGMT, a Dark Horse publication by Matt Kindt, which has Ridley Scott producing.

The story centers on Henry Lime, a powerful psychic and former government agent who, with the help of an author named Meru, investigates the agency from whence he came.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the search for a writer to adapt that project is underway.

Max Nicholson is a writer for IGN, and he desperately seeks your approval. Show him some love by following @Max_Nicholson on Twitter, or MaxNicholson on IGN.
