Jane Goldman & Matthew Vaughn Writing Script For The Secret Service

HeatVision reports that Matthew Vaughn is indeed developing Mark Millar/Dave Gibbon's future comic release The Secret Service into a film. They also mention that Vaughn along with longtime writing partner Jane Goldman (Woman In Black, The Debt) will be working on the film's script. However, they do say that Vaughn is only supervising the scripwriting on Superior. Goldman and Vaughn have previously worked together on Stardust, Kick-Ass and X-Men First Class. Knowing they'll be writing together again on this project makes me believe that Secret Service could be Vaughn's next film. There has also been talk of Matthew developing Jonathan Ross' comics Golden Age and Turf into films as well, Ross of course is Jane's husband.

Matthew Vaughn Buys Film Rights To Mark Millar's Secret Service

CBM has a press release for a charity auction for Mark Millar's upcoming comic The Secret Service. Similar to Kick Ass and Superior, Millar is giving people who bid the chance to have the characters in the new comic named after them. It's for a great cause so please check it out. Details on the comic are currently unknown but I'm sure they will be announced eventually.

Also, within the press release is the fact that Matthew Vaughn's Marv films have bought the comic's film rights. Vaughn is attached to direct Superior sometime down the line. The legendary comic artist Dave Gibbons will be handling the artwork on Secret Service. Gibbons is best known for his work on Alan Moore's Watchmen and Frank Miller's Martha Washington.
