Don't fuck it up, Sam!

The screenplay is being written by Brad Inglesby, who sold his spec script "Low Dweller" to Ridley Scott and DiCaprio earlier this year.

Well, I'm a huge Brubaker fanboy and was on the small, but cozy Sleeper bandwagon day one.

Personally, I feel the material is more suited for an HBO miniseries. Hell, each issue is referred to as an "episode" and it had two "seasons".

Yeah, it had two seasons because it came *this* close to being cancelled ;)
