10 Non-Superhero Comic-Book Movies That Must Happen

4. Strange Girl

Written by prolific scribe Rick Remender, Strange Girl is an epic exploration of faith as told through the eyes of a girl left behind after the Rapture. Published by Image Comics, Strange Girl follows heroine Bethany Black as she attempts to reach the final remaining gate to Heaven. Disgruntled demons are in hot pursuit, and many horrific obstacles lie in wait. Remender's series could make one hell of a movie (pun absolutely intended), boasting plenty of attractive qualities. A badass, hugely-likeable lead. A funny, grotesque demonic sidekick. Great villains. An original post-apocalyptic setting. While Strange Girl might cut a little too deeply for hardcore religious types, it's a fantastic comic that deserves to reach a wider audience. A film adaptation could easily be a commercial blockbuster, but the chances of a studio taking a risk on it are slim (to say the least). If a popular young actress was put in the lead and the story's action was expanded, it could be an attractive proposition, but exploring the problems associated with religion in massive multi-million-dollar movies is generally a no-no. Still, we'll always have the comic €“ hopefully it'll fall into the right hands someday.
