Derek Kolstad has co-written the comic book Planet Death with writer Robert Venditti and artist Tomas Giorello, launching from Bad Idea Comics at San Diego Comic-Con this year. But it's not the only Bad Idea project that this screenwriter of the John Wick franchise and the movie Nobody is involved with. Derek Kolstad is also going to adapt the Bad Idea comic book Ordained into a movie, announced at the Bad Idea panel earlier today at SDCC.
Ordained, written by Planet Death's co-writer Robert Venditti and drawn by artists Raúl Allén and Antonio del Hoya is about "a priest who performs last rites at a hospital and one day, gives sacraments to a dying patient. The patient confesses to being the head of the Irish Mafia and spills out his darkest deeds and secrets. When the man makes a miraculous medical recovery, he is quick to return to his old ways and send his men to kill the priest who now knows where all the bodies are buried. But the priest's collar wasn't always white as he was once a Navy SEAL who found his faith in the midst of battle. Gangsters, corrupt cops and a police officer who wants to take on the Irish Mafia head will learn what happens when you cross this priest."
Bad Idea's Dinesh Shamdasani and Benjamin Simpson are producing the adaptation. Not this second obviously, they have the Bad Idea Tiki Party kicking off right now to enjoy, I think a few Bleeding Cool types will be there tonight…
