According to AWN, MGM Television has optioned The Many Worlds of Jonas Moore, a digital graphic novel, with a possibility of turning it into a TV Series. Set in the cyber-gaming world of the English Empire, Jonas Moore, a self-aware game character, tries to escape the network’s security programs by jumping from one game to another.
“MGM is a great place for THE MANY WORLDS OF JONAS MOORE,” said Howard Webster, creator, producer and director of the project for Factory Publishing in association with Triumph Motorcycles. “There has never been a black British action hero before and what appealed to me was that MGM understood this from the outset. JONAS MOORE is sophisticated, educated, tough and uber-cool. He represents the next generation of intelligent action heroes of international sci-fi drama.”
The digital graphic comic has been applauded as one of the most ground-breaking novels of the genre. The art design uses different, almost juxtaposing elements such as photography, archival footage, comic illustration, and 3d animation. The story itself invites the fans to jump in by downloading elements and creating their won Jonas Moore stories. With the digital comic’s open structure, it will interesting how MGM handles Moore on the screen.
