10 Alternative Comics That Would Make Killer Movies

4. 100 Bullets

Plot: In Brian Azzarello's dark and stylish story the mysterious Agent Graves propositions people who have been victims of a terrible wrong and gives them the opportunity to take revenge. He gives them a gun, 100 bullets, proof the target identified is responsible for their all of their woes, and the promise that law enforcement will turn a blind eye. The Pitch: Indecent Proposal? That's putting it mildly. Why It Would Make A Killer Movie: On the surface a film version would pose a thoroughly devilish question to draw audiences in; 'would you kill someone responsible for everything bad in your life if you knew you would get away with it?' As the film would progress, a deeply complex backstory can be revealed involving secret organisations and centuries-old conspiracies in this sprawling crime saga. This compelling morality tale has come close to being made in the past with David S. Goyer (writer of The Dark Knight) in 2011, but following some mass shootings the producers pulled the plug. Given how time heals all, in a few years we could hopefully all be ready for this stylish, violent and clever story.
