Harbinger (film)

Harbinger is a planned Paramount Pictures live-action feature film based on the Valiant Entertainment comics of the same name, created by Jim Shooter and David Lapham.

Most recently Paul Downs Colaizzo (Brittany Runs a Marathon) was negotiating for the director's job. He replaces Wes Ball (The Maze Runner), who prioritized his Planet of the Apes project. Downs Colaizzo will also rewrite the script, which was previously crafted by Andrew Lanham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings).

The publisher offers this synopsis of the comics: "Super-powered teenager Peter Stanchek is on a dangerous path. Skipping across the country in a desperate attempt to stay one step ahead of the authorities, Peter is quickly realizing that he’s a psionically-charged “harbinger” with the potential to reshape the course of human history. But Peter’s plight has not gone unnoticed. Respected philanthropist and fellow harbinger Toyo Harada is about to offer Peter the chance at the things for which the boy has always longed — family, inner peace, self-control — and induct him into the sprawling, secret network of conspiracy and subversion known as the Harbinger Foundation. Now Peter begins his long road towards a destiny that will shake the very foundations of the Valiant Universe. His first lesson? All power comes with a price."

Neal Moritz and Tobe Jaffe are producing for Original Film. Ball and Joe Hartwick Jr. are producing for Oddball Entertainment. Dan Mintz is producing for Valiant.
