Tom Hardy to Produce Vertigo Comics '100 Bullets' Adaptation

The first film based off of a Vertigo comic is going in the form of "100 Bullets" by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso.

New Line and Tom Hardy are working together to produce the movie and Hardy may play the star.

The comic ran from 1999 to 2009 and produced 100 issues.

It centered around an enigmatic man named Agent Graves as he presents different people with the identity of the person who ruined their lives, a gun and a hundred rounds of untraceable ammunition.

During its time a large crime sage emerged that won the comic and Risso, Eisner and Harvey Awards.

The film is already in development with a script by Chris Borrelli, who most recently worked on "The Vatican Tapes." The film will also be produced with Dean Baker under the Hardy Son & Baker production.

There is no released plot line for the movie as of yet.

A while back, Hardy made vague comments about a DC movie, which had been confusing as he'd already dropped out of "Suicide Squad." His comments hint that the movie will be sticking close to its source material and that it won't be a superhero movie.

"It contains elements of all kinds of stuff. From Ocean's Eleven, to Batman, you can get all the wrappers out and it would be a big, really cool, technicolor Pulp Fiction. It's a psychological fuckfest, it's absolutely awesome.

It's as if you would take Transmetropolitan and make it happen, but it's not that out there [as in a futuristic cyberpunk world].

It's something which is much more real world. It could be like Heat, it could be fucking awesome."
