Runaways

Marvel Studios is moving forward with a film adaptation of their comic series Runaways, with production set to commence in March of next year, according to a tweet from Production Weekly. Shooting will take place in L.A., with Paul Sollet (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist) at the helm.

if you need definitive proof, here's their tweet, copied verbatim: Marvel's "The Runaways" (aka "Small Faces"), is scheduled to begin filming in March in L.A.

No telling what this "Small Faces" business is all about. There's a chance that it's just the flick's code name; big movies often use alternate titles when they want to keep curious folks away. Then again, as there was just a film called The Runaways released (the Joan Jett biopic starring Kristen Stewart), perhaps they're really going with it as a new title? Time will tell.

Via Marvel.com, here's all you need to know about The Runaways: The teens who became the Runaways found that some family secrets are bigger than others when they witnessed their parents, part of a cabal known as the Pride, murdering a young girl during a secret sacrificial ritual. Running away from their homes, the group banded together and began a journey of discovery, both of their parents' origins and of their own inherited powers. Arsenic found she could control her time-traveling parents' dinosaur, which she named Old Lace; Sister Grimm took her mother's magical Staff of One, with which she could cast any spell, but only once; the mutant Bruiser found that with puberty came super strength; Lucy in the Sky learned that she was an alien with energy powers; Talkback took several of his mad scientist parents' weapons; however, Alex Wilder, possessing only his own natural genius, retained use of his real name.

Aliens, time-traveling dinosaurs, human sacrifices... Count me in!

No cast has been announced as of yet.
