Hilary Swank has become attached to star in and produce a film version of the sci-fi/western comic Shrapnel, according to Variety.
Set in the year 2250, the story follows a former "Solar Alliance Marine" - who Swank will play - spearheading an uprising on Venus, the last free colony, against an oppressive solar government in order to fight for the freedom of her people. Sounds epic. The script has been penned by Toby Wagstaff, who is a first time feature writer.
No director has been set as of yet, but there are apparently several circling it. You can't really judge until a helmer is announced.
