We3 heading to the big screen - Cyborg Dog, Cat and Rabbit will kill you nasty

Kung Fu Panda co-director John Stevenson will direct a big screen adaptation of Grant Morrison’s comic book miniseries We3. Producer Don Murphy has also spoken to ShockTillYouDrop and confirmed that the film will be live action and rated R. This is cool news as the original graphic novel has scenes of immense violence and death my cyborg critters.

The original comic was published in 2004 by Vertigo and is well worth picking up. It's got lovely art work by Frank Quitely (Morrison and Quitely also worked on the critically acclaimed All-Star Superman which is twelve issues of the best Superman stories ever).

“WE3 tells the unforgettable story of three innocent pets — a dog, a cat and a rabbit who have been converted into deadly cyborgs by a sinister military weapons program. With nervous systems amplified to match their terrifying mechanical exoskeletons, the members of Animal Weapon 3 have the firepower of a battalion between them. But they are just the programs prototypes and, now that their testing is complete, theyre slated to be permanently decommissioned” until they seize their one chance to make a desperate run for freedom! Relentlessly pursued by their makers, the WE3 team must navigate a frightening and confusing world where their instincts and heightened abilities make them as much a threat as those hunting them but a world, nonetheless, in which there is something called Home. Action-packed and heart-wrenching, WE3 is a new high mark from two of comics greatest talents.”
