David Fincher (FightClub) has signed on to Direct Torso

Good news for those of us who love Brian Michael Bendis' older (less superhero oriented) writing. David Fincher has signed on to direct a film adaptation of Torso, the Elliot Ness starring crime trade paperback that Bendis co-wrote with Marc Andreyko.

I saw on E (yes, I watch it sometimes) that Hollywood is playing it safe by making only sequels, bestseller, and strong comic book movies this year. I was a little disappointed, but books like Torso will look good on the screen.
