The Image Comic book series The Strange Talent of Luther Strode is being adapted into a feature film by the upstart production company, Allnighter. Created by Justin Jordan, Tradd Moore, and Felipe Sobreiro, the series tells the story of scrawny teen Luther Strode who becomes superhuman through the power of The Method.
Allnighter's and Valiant Entertainment alumni Dinesh Shamdasani, Hunter Gorinson, and Amanda Kruse will produce the film alongside Jordan and Moore. Jordan is currently at work adapting the comic and will write the screenplay.
"Luther Strode remains one of my very favorite things I've ever worked on and getting the chance to bring it to a new audience as a film is exciting beyond belief," said Justin Jordan. "Especially since Allnighter is dedicated to staying true to all foundations--from the tone to the mythology, and, of course, the kinetic action exemplified by Tradd's artwork, that people have loved about the comic."
Released in October 2011, Luther Strode was an instant hit and made stars out of the team, who soon found themselves working at DC and Marvel. Jordan's other film and television projects currently include an adaptation of another of his Image Comics' series Spread with artist Kyle Strahm, while Moore's 2019 series with writer Ales Kot, The New World, is being adapted as a feature film for Warner Bros. Pictures.
No production start or release date has been announced.
