J.J. Abrams to produce 'Boilerplate'
J.J. Abrams is to produce a film based on the Boilerplate: History's Mechanical Marvel comic.
The Lost creator and his production company Bad Robot are working on the adaptation of married creative team Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett's graphic novel, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Boilerplate is a Victorian steampunk story about the adventures of the world's first robot.
The graphic novel was released last year after eleven years' work on the project, which included a website that was regularly mistaken as historical and nonfiction.
The film is to be produced and released by Paramount.
