Sony has snatched up the film rights for Scott McCloud’s new graphic novel, The Sculptor. Two Hollywood producers, Scott Rudin and Josh Bratman, have signed on to work on this project.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the story “centers on an artist, destitute and living on the streets, who makes a deal with Death: the power to create with his hands, but after 200 days, his time on Earth is up. Art begins to flow from his hands but complications ensue when he meets the girl of his dreams.” The publisher released the book earlier this month.
