According to the Hollywood Reporter, Adrian Askarieh's Prime Universe Productions and Chuck Gordon's Daybreak Productions have optioned the film and TV rights to the as yet unpublished comic book series Killer Stunts, Inc.  Leo Partible, co-founder of publisher DPG Visions, and series creator Scott Alan Kinney will serve as co-producers on the project. 

Preview copies of Killer Stunts Inc. were circulated at the San Diego Comic-Con, but the first issue of the comic isn't due out until early 2004. 

Although the Killer Stunts Inc. preview comic did receive some attention in the fan press, it is a testament to the current Hollywood fascination with comic books that Killer Stunts Inc. was optioned so quickly.  While it is true that Steve Niles and other comic book scribes have been able to sell the concepts to the studios before the actual appearance of the comic, Scott Alan Kinney, creator of Killer Stunts, Inc., doesn't have the experience or reputation of a writer such as Niles.  However Kinney did come up with a hot concept in his story of a fledgling stunt company, which gets involved in covert government work and a vast conspiracy, while trying to stay financially viable in Hollywood, where computer generated effects are increasingly replacing the work of stunt men.
