BOOM! Studios and author James L. White have licensed his graphic novel Hunter’s Moon to actor Mekhi Phifer‘s Facilitator Films. Phifer and his partner Ronnie Warner will produce the film (Phifer is planning to star in it), along with Boom! co-founders Andrew Cosby and Ross Richie (under their Boom Entertainment banner).
Hunter’s Moon is the story of “a single father who takes his teenage son into the woods for a weekend of bonding. When the son is kidnapped, the father is forced to do the bidding of the captors in a desperate bid to save his son.” It has been nominated for “Story of the Year” and “Writer of the Year” by comic book honorarium The Glyph Awards.
White wrote the screenplay for 2004’s Ray, and is currently working on a project about blues legend Robert Johnson for HBO.
Phifer currently stars on ER, and was previously in Dawn of the Dead (2004) and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998), as well as many others.
