Fox is developing a television adaptation of the yet-to-be-published thriller Gun Machine by Warren Ellis.
Ellis is best known as the creator/writer of a vast number of comics and graphic novels. Gun Machine would be only his second crime novel (after 2007's Crooked Little Vein).
Dario Scardapane (Trauma) will write the project's screenplay pilot.
"Chernin [Entertainment] and Fox pursued Gun Machine with great passion and intelligence, and I couldn't be happier to be making this show with them," said Ellis, who will co-executive produce the potential series.

Warren Ellis
Mulholland Books (January 2013)
After a shootout claims the life of his partner in a condemned tenement building on Pearl Street, Detective John Tallow unwittingly stumbles across an apartment stacked high with guns. When examined, each weapon leads to a different, previously unsolved murder. Someone has been killing people for twenty years or more and storing the weapons together for some inexplicable purpose.
Confronted with the sudden emergence of hundreds of unsolved homicides, Tallow soon discovers that he's walked into a veritable deal with the devil. An unholy bargain that has made possible the rise of some of Manhattan's most prominent captains of industry. A hunter who performs his deadly acts as a sacrifice to the old gods of Manhattan, who may, quite simply, be the most prolific murderer in New York City's history.
