Indies strike deals

Brian Lee O'Malley's very funny "Scott Pilgrim" comic, published by Oni Press, has been optioned for feature film development by Universal and Marc Platt Prods. Michael Bacall is scripting and "Shaun of the Dead" helmer Edgar Wright is set to direct. Bacall's writing credits include "Bookies" and the forthcoming "In Search of Captain Zero."

New Line has picked up the license to "The Interman," a self-published graphic novel by Jeff Parker. Pic will be produced by Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson through their NL-based shingle Contrafilm. "The Exorcist: The Beginning" scribe Alexi Hawley will pen the script. Project came to the attention of Contrafilm development exec Lisa Zambri from Illuminati Entertainment's Ford Lytle Gilmore. Zambri will be associate producer and Gilmore co-producer on the pic.
