by Derek Kraneveldt Stan Lee’s ‘Annihilator’ Coming From Producer Barry Josephson!

Sure, its a character you’re probably not familiar with yet, but it’s Stan Lee!

Magic Storm Entertainment has revealed that Barry Josephson will produc Stan Lee’s Annihilator. Josephson has quite the filmography behind him, including Men in Black, The Fifth Element, The Professional, and many, many more. Magic Store Entertainment CEO Eric Mika is sounding very positive about the partnership, stating that “Barry is the perfect partner at every level to produce a film of this magnitude that targets a global market, including mainland China.”

The script has been written by Dan Gilroy (The Bourne Legacy, Real Steel).

Annihilator tells the story of a young Chinese expatriate, Ming, who must choose between remaining in prison or enlist in a secret US super soldier program. The program uses targeted genetic enhancements from various animal species. Ming chooses to undergo this nearly fatal procedure and through his extreme resolve, gained as a result of his family’s tradition of practicing Qijong and martial arts, he survives. Now, armed with remarkable abilities, he must confront a former rival with his own set of enhanced faculties. Our reluctant hero is forced not only to face his personal demons, but also to defeat the villain who will destroy everything that he knows and loves.

Little else is known about the project at this time; no director has been announced, nor have any cast members signed on. We’ll let you know when they do!

And of course, we love Stan Lee around here…
