The Runaways, a Marvel property made famous by Brian K. Vaughan, still may have a cinematic pulse.
If you've heard of The Runaways, the story of the heroic children of supervillains, you certainly are familiar with the writer, Brian K. Vaughan. And if you've read Brian K. Vaughan's Runaways, you certainly love it. Despite recent talk that any hope of a Runaways movie might be dead, Mr. Vaughan himself still holds out a shred of hope that it might see the light of day in Marvel phase three. He's not alone. The man who write the currently shelved Runawaysscript (who also wrote Iron Man 3), Drew Pearce, thinks that the project still has a pulse, too.
Speaking with Total Film, Mr. Pearce said that "I wish I knew if The Runaways had a place in Phase 3. I'm not close enough to the core. I don't work for Marvel, so I don't have a sense of the Master Plan other than when tiny crumbs are passed to me! I'm still super-proud of the script. I think it's a brilliant film in the making - not necessarily because of my script, but because of Brian K. Vaughan's excellent idea. I know Kevin's still a big fan of the script that's there in the vault. Whether it finds its way onto the runway for Phase 3, I have no idea, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed."
For our part, we think Runaways would work much better as a TV series, and we'd be just as happy to see Mr. Pearce do some work on that! Mr. Pearce also weighs in on Damage Control, Jessica Jones, the Marvel One-Shot "All Hail the King" and other Marvel properties he'd like to get his hands on in the full interview at Total Film.
