From Variety<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. has acquired feature film rights to Nate Simpson’s comicbook “Nonplayer” from publisher Image Comics and has set up the potential tentpole project with producers Roy Lee (“The Ring”) and David Heyman (the “Harry Potter” series).<\/p>\n

“Nonplayer” is a sci-fi\/fantasy story about Dana Stevens, a brilliant young woman who retreats from the dismal workaday world of the future into the digital fantasy realm of Jarvath, where she’s a fearless warrior.<\/p>\n

First of six issues went on sale in April.<\/p>\n

Prior to “Nonplayer,” Simpson worked as a videogame concept artist.<\/p>\n

Heyman most recently produced WB’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” which has grossed more than $1 billion worldwide since opening last month. He’s in production on Alfonso Cuaron’s Sandra Bullock starrer “Gravity,” which WB recently skedded for release on Nov. 21, 2012.<\/p>\n

Lee recently produced Lionsgate’s upcoming Taylor Lautner thriller “Abduction” and served as an exec producer on CBS Films’ Daniel Radcliffe starrer “The Woman in Black.” He’s developing a remake of the South Korean classic “Oldboy” for Mandate Pictures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
