May 5, 1998... This spec screenplay was taken off the market for a price between one and one-and-one-half million dollars, depending on who you ask. This marks the first project for the new production company of Vajna and Kassar. It also marks what would be the first of a trilogy of films about the adventures of the aforementioned young man. [Originally appeared in Comic Shop News and Variety; reported by 'Widgett'.]
August 11, 1998... Yesterday The Hollywood Reporter said director Chuck Russell (The Mask) is considering this project as his next. [Anonymous.]
