SDCC brought us a deluge of JMS announcements this summer, but the comics, tv and film writer isn't stopping there. Now he's writing the Shadowman film for Valiant Entertainment and producer Sean Daniel.

Deadline has the word:

Valiant Entertainment and The Mummy producer Sean Daniel are teaming up to turn the Valiant Comic Shadowman into a live action feature. They've made a deal with J. Michael Straczynski to write the script.

Said Valiant CEO Jason Kothari: "Shadowman is the first in a large slate of film projects that we are developing and funding internally at Valiant."
