How fitting that a guy no one’s heard of — Adrian Askarieh
is looking to produce a movie based on a cartoon that most people have

and Hack/Slash, is a childhood fan of the cartoon, which aired from
1964-65
and wasn’t all that good. Even the 1990s relaunch was subpar, as the
newer version couldn’t decide between a futuristic setting or the Cold War
antiquity of the original.
