SKYBOUND ENTERTAINMENT, POINT GREY PICTURES AND UNIVERSAL PICTURES ANNOUNCE SETH ROGEN AND EVAN GOLDBERG-LED FEATURE ADAPTATION OF ROBERT KIRKMAN’S LONG-RUNNING COMIC SERIES INVINCIBLE

Los Angeles, (April 4, 2017) – Skybound Entertainment, Point Grey Pictures and Universal Pictures announced today that Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will write, direct and produce the feature adaptation of the Image/Skybound comic series Invincible by Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley & Cory Walker.

Invincible, Kirkman’s second longest running series after The Walking Dead, was first released in 2003, and follows Mark Grayson, a normal high school student with just one difference between him and his peers – his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, and he, too, will inherit his own set of super powers.

The comic book, now on its 133rd issue, explores Mark’s journey as he discovers what it means to be the son of Omni-Man and the reality behind his greatest responsibility: protecting planet Earth.

“For nearly a decade I’ve had to endure the ‘what about Invincible?’ question as fans have watched The Walking Dead grow into the multi-media monstrosity it has become over the years. The answer was always that we were waiting for the right team to partner with. That team has arrived! The esteemed misters Goldberg and Rogen have proven themselves to be top-notch directors with a keen collective eye for stunning visuals after slumming it by writing hit after juggernaut hit, said Robert Kirkman.

Kirkman continues, “Invincible’s surprising, edgy, shocking, and oftentimes blood-soaked story couldn’t be in more capable hands. With the team of Rogen, Goldberg and Universal, I’m very confident this will be another superhero movie, in a long line of superhero movies that continues to prove that it’s a viable, thrilling genre that will keep people coming to the cinema for years to come.”

“We will not sleep until the movie is perfect! No matter how much damage it causes our bodies, minds, and our most intimate relationships with those we love, we will not rest until Invincible is as great a movie as it deserves to be,” said Rogen and Goldberg.

The feature is part of Skybound Entertainment’s first look deal with Universal and will tout Skybound’s Robert Kirkman, David Alpert, Bryan Furst, and Sean Furst as producers. Point Grey’s James Weaver will also serve as a producer on the film.
Kirkman is repped by CAA, Circle of Confusion and Katz Golden Rosenman. Both Rogen and Goldberg are repped by UTA and Felker Toczek Suddleson Abramson.
