The graphic novel series 100 Bullets is being adapted as a crime drama for Showtime. Written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Eduardo Risso, the comics ran for 100 issues and have been collectively published as 13 graphic novels.
The overall storyline poses the question, What would you do if you were given the opportunity and the means to get away with murder? The mysterious Agent Graves offers his clients a gun and immunity from prosecution, enabling them to get revenge against those who ruined their lives. There is no reward for those that follow through, nor is there any penalty for declining. Elements of hard-boiled crime stories and paranoid espionage thrillers are the hallmarks of this series.
The screenplay adaptation is being written by David S. Goyer, who wrote all three "Blade" films and the Blade television series, and co-wrote Batman Begins with Christopher Nolan.
