The Ghost Who Walks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ghost Who Walks is a planned movie adaptation of Lee Falk's comic strip The Phantom. No release date have been officially announced, but according to IMDB, it is set to premiere in 2007, which is very unlikely.
Different drafts of the movie have been written by Steven E. de Souza (Die Hard, Die Hard 2), Mel Stewart, Mark Brewington and Michael Rowe. The movie is set to be an updated take on the character of the Phantom, adding elements of science fiction (possibly not unlike the critically acclaimed animated series "Phantom 2040". In an interview, Mel Stewart described it as "X-Men meets Tom Clancy".
The movie is produced by Baldwin Entertainment Group (led by Howard Baldwin and Karen Baldwin) and Hyde Park Entertainment (led by Ashok Amritraj). The two companies are also in the process of making a big budget, updated take on Lee Falk's other comic strip creation, Mandrake the Magician.
