Finnish Iron Sky producer Tero Kaukomaa's Blind Spot outfit, now with Vuorensola as a partner, has signed with US producer Arnold Rifkin and producer/publisher Ross Richie to package the €15.7 million feature from Keith Giffen and Alan Grant's graphic novel, published by Richie's BOOM! Studios.

Originally a talent agent and a founding partner of Triad Artists, later acquired by the William Morris Agency, Rifkin set up Cheyenne with his client of 17 years, US actor Bruce Willis. They produced films such as Bandits, Hart's War, The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course and Tears of the Sun, before Willis left.

The depiction of an intergalactic bounty hunter sent on a mission to future New York City to hunt down a band of space-faring criminals and the woman they have kidnapped, will be developed and partly financed by the same crowd-sourcing model that contributed €600,000 to the €7.5 million budget of Iron Sky.

A Jeremiah Harm promo is available on www.jeremiahharm.com "presenting the tone and the style of the film". Designer hopefuls may come up with input for "one million aliens", and the best, most innovative and interesting creatures will end up on screen with the author in the credits.
