Bruckheimer prepares for 'War'

By Adnan Tezer Jul 31, 2009, 20:51 GMT

Jerry Bruckheimer has purchased the feature rights to the graphic novel "World War Robot" from IDW Publishing.

Story, written by Ashley Wood and recounted in war-diary form by participants on both sides, centers on a small band of humans and robots facing off in a battle on Earth, the moon and Mars.

According to Variety, Wood and IDW president Ted Adams are expected to executive produce.

Deal for the rights closed during Comic-Con last week in San Diego.

Ten-year-old IDW is home to such titles as "30 Days of Night," "Popbot" and "Dark Days" along with licensed titles such as "24," "Angel," "CSI" and the Transformers toy line.

IDW has been eager to set up its books as film properties around town in order to generate more revenue for the publishers. It's currently the third-largest behind Marvel and DC. Ashley Wood's
