The Incal (film)

The Incal is a planned live-action feature film based on the Humanoids graphic novel created by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius.

Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) is set to direct the adaptation. He's also co-writing with frequent collaborator Jemaine Clement (What We Do In The Shadows) and Peter Warren (Ghost Team).

The publisher provides this description of the work: "John Difool, a low-class detective in a degenerate dystopian world, finds his life turned upside down when he discovers an ancient, mystical artifact called 'The Incal.' Difool’s adventures will bring him into conflict with the galaxy’s greatest warrior, the Metabaron, and will pit him against the awesome powers of the Technopope. These encounters and many more make up a tale of comic and cosmic proportions that has Difool fighting for not only his very survival, but also the survival of the entire universe."

Humanoids and Primer Entertainment are partnered in developing the film.
