Having tasted success with Watchmen, writer Alex Tse is set to adapt the graphic novel Battling Boy for Plan B and Paramount Pictures.

The film is based on an upcoming graphic novel written and illustrated by Paul Pope. It follows the son of a god who comes down from the top of a mountain at his father’s urging to rid the giant, continent-sized city of Monstropolis of a plague of beasts.

The book is due out this spring.
