Writer David Pepose and illustrator Jorge Santiago , Jr. ’s Spencer & Locke is a morose , grainy send - up of Bill Watterson ’s authoritative Calvin and Hobbes comics . It ’s the tarradiddle of a man , his fanciful felid ally , and their quest to lick a bloody murder mystery .
According to The Hollywood newsman , Hitman manufacturer Adrian Askarieh has optioned the film rights to Spencer & Locke and is currently working with the same film studio apartment that produced the Resident Evil films to turn the comparatively Modern comic serial into a full - on cinematic franchise .
“ I was hooked from the very first issue , ” Askarieh told THR . “ There is something in darkness splanchnic and uniquely cinematic about what David and Jorge have created . ”
Askarieh ’s Spencer & Locke project is currently in its earlier stage of ontogenesis and no details about the first film , cast , or yield team has been announced as of yet .
