The spy known as Nick Fury, no it's not that Hasslehoff baydude, but the real guy. The one who led the howling commandoes through the hell of WWII, the main with an aim for AIM and a bullet for the head of every HYDRA. He's back from a recon mission in which he found out that a cool, yet obscure comic is getting the theatrical treatment over at Universal, based on EVANGELINE, so step up and listen sharp, Mr Fury is yapping at ya from behind that cigar...
Hey Harry, Nick Fury reporting for duty here. Just wanted to pop in and share some obscure news about an obscure comic book getting turned into a movie.
The comic book is EVANGELINE, a comic published by Comico and First Comics in the 1980s. It was created by Chuck Dixon, who's written lots of Batman and Green Arrow comics. It was also the subject of a MATTHEW SWEET song, if that rings any bells.
Anyway, it's in development at Universal, and a script was written by Clair Noto.
The storyline follows Evangeline, who is a nun with a gun. Really! It's the future, and Mars is controlled by a tycoon named Pallafox. When some nuns are mysteriously gunned down by killers, the Catholic Church sends out an executioner, the swift hand of death from the church, to get revenge and make the wrongs right. Along the way, she teams up with JOHNNY SIX, a rebel, and helps out JOE X, a cloned sex slave.
I have no idea if this tale is faithful to the original material; I never read the comic. Maybe someone else has casting news, or knows what producers are producing the movie.
In the meantime, Face Front, True Believers. Nick Fury out...
