Brodie's Law, the indie comic that originated at Pulp Theatre Entertainment and was collected in trade by Markosia Enterprises, is coming to the silver screen. Like the comic, the movie will star thief and killer Jack Brodie who becomes the most wanted man in Britain after a heist goes horribly wrong.

BF spoke to director Renny Harlin about the Darclight feature production and how it landed in Hollywood.

BROKEN FRONTIER: What's the story of Brodie finding his way to the big screen like? Don't hold back… you know Brodie wouldn't either!

RENNY HARLIN: It has been like being castrated by a rusted pitchfork. Actually it has not been too bad, just a matter of patience. The easiest part was the adaptation, which took only a couple of months, which is an absolute miracle. Getting people interested in the project has been fairly easy. It has just been a matter of pulling the less compelling pieces together, meaning money, contracts, all of those things that make us tear our hair out waiting. But now we're ready to move into hyper-drive and shoot this.
