Szymon Kudrański’s popular No Man’s Land thriller miniseries published by Image Comics is currently in development for a film with producer Jason Berman’s A/Vantage Pictures (Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest), as well as Kudrański and Jon Levin’s Sustainable Imagination (All the Empty Rooms), according to The Hollywood Reporter scoop.
No Man’s Land is a high-stakes murder mystery perfect for fans of True Detective, Whiteout, and Insomnia. For three months each year, anyone can walk from the USA to Russia across an ice bridge: a frozen path known as the Ice Curtain. In 1963, when the body of a young woman is discovered on this icy no-man’s land, the already fragile relationship between the superpowers threatens to collapse. With nuclear tensions rising, an FBI agent and a KGB operative must solve the murder before the ice melts… and war ignites.
No Man’s Land is created, written, and illustrated by the much-celebrated Kudrański (Spawn, Action Comics, The Punisher), edited by Tom Williams, lettered by Dc Hopkins, and is under Kudrański’s One Man Art line, his fully independent creative banner where he creates and produces his own original works. No Man’s Land is the third solo series in a growing slate of Kudrański’s creator-owned titles that includes Something Epic and Blood Commandment.
“High concept ideas work in any medium, for Image Comics we are constantly looking for new ideas and stories that will grab a reading audience early and then hold them through the telling of the story arc,” Todd McFarlane, President of Image Comics and creator of Spawn. “And now, to learn that No Man’s Land will now get developed for a future theatrical release reinforces the talent level of Szymon and makes him yet another example of creators owning and controlling their own destinies.”
No Man’s Land trade paperback (ISBN: 978-1534333604, Lunar Code 0226IM0506) collects issues #1-4 and will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, April 22 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, May 19.
No Man’s Land is also available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play, and Omnibus.
