The 1980s comic book Dreadstar from Marvel's Epic Illustrated imprint is now in-development as a feature film adaptation. Benderspink and Illuminati Entertainment have reportedly joined forces to bring the Jim Starlin sci-fi comic to the screen.

As THR reminds us, "Dreadstar told the adventures of Vanth Dreadstar, the last survivor of the Milky Way Galaxy who is torn between two powerful and evil empires, the Monarch and the Church of The Instrumentality. He is aided in his battles by a motley crew of survivors, a mystic by the name of Syzygy Darklock, a telepath named Willow and a cat-man called Oedi."The production companies will first hire a screenwriter before seeking out a financier or a studio so this one's a ways off if it ever goes before cameras.Starlin created some of Marvel's most famous cosmic characters, including Thanos and Guardians of the Galaxy team members Drax the Destroyer and Gamora.
