Doc Savage is Now Official!

Some might remember a few months ago that Aint It Cool News reported that writer-director Shane Black (of Lethal Weapon and the funny Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) was hired to write the script for a new take on the pulp hero. Well now Columbia Pictures has given the go ahead on the project with Black also directing according to Variety http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118015613.html?categoryid=10&cs=1&nid=2248 Black promised at the time the film would be a more serious take than the 1975 film and it would remain in its period. Sounds good and I wish Black the best of luck.
