Doc Savage

Shane Black, writer of Lethal Weapon and The Last Boy Scout, and director of the much under-appreciated 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' has been hired to co-write and direct the forthcoming film adaptation of comic super hero Doc Savage.

Doc Savage was last seen on screen in 1975's camp classic 'Doc Savage - The Man of Bronze' but rumours of a return have been mooted for over ten years, with Schwarzenegger attached way back in 1999.

According to Variety, the film will keep the 1930s setting and will also feature 'The Fagulous Five', Doc Savage's recurring companions.
