Bitter Root has been on our radar for months and for a good reason it seems since common opinion has ranked it one of the best comics of the year.

Five issues later, now Bitter Root has been optioned for a live-actioned movie after having their movie rights bought from Legendary as Deadline reports.

The series creators, David F. Walker, Sanford Greene and Chuck Brown will be executive producers along side with Sean Owolo while Jon Silk and Disney Hall will oversee the entire project.

“[With Bitter Root, we’re] mixing action and horror, with a cast of characters unique to the medium to tell an epic tale of the Sangerye family, and the sacrifices they are willing to make for humanity,” said Walker.
