Fear Agent blasting his way to the big screen

Dark Horse Comics’ sci-fi adventure series “Fear Agent” is headed for the big screen, according to creator Rick Remender.

In an interview with UGO that recently hit the ‘Net, Remender breaks the news that a big-screen adaptation of his ridiculously entertaining, genre-spanning “space cowboy” series is indeed “in the works,” and warns that saying more could endanger not only the project, but everything he holds dear!

“I can’t really say much more or they’ll kill my family,” said Remender. “They’re out there and they’re always watching… cruel and vicious Hollywood Black ops Agents. We have to be careful about who we say what to.”

However, Remender did feel comfortable throwing out some names of actors he’d like to see play Heath Huston, the alcoholic “hero” of the series.

“If I had my choice of the actor to play Heath Huston I’d say Jon Hamm or Aaron Eckhart,” said Remender.

“Fear Agent” debuted in 2005, and tells the story of an alien invasion of Earth and the creation of the “Fear Agent” squad tasked with eradicating alien threats to the planet. Texas native Huston is thrown from one (generally space-based) adventure to the next, battling threats that range from the comical to more horror-influenced elements. The series is currently written by Remender with art by Tony Moore and Jerome Opena.
