Mark Millar‘s Starlight might finally be coming to the big screen. Joe Cornish will write and direct the film for 20th Century Studios.

Simon Kinberg and Audrey Chon are producing through Kinberg’s Genre Films banner, and Nira Park has joined as producer.

Starlight is a Flash Gordon riff about an older space hero who returns to Earth after saving the universe. No one believes him and he settles, gets married, and has kids. But, he’s called back for one fantastic adventure.

Starlight was originally published in 2014 by Image Comics and was a six-issue limited series. Written by Millar, it featured art by Goran Parlov.
