John Woo is set to direct the comic book adaptation
Caliber. The film is a three way co-production of
Johnny Depp’s Infinitum Nihil, Barry Levine’s Radical
Comics and Lion Rock, the U.S. Based shingle that Woo
runs with longstanding partner Terence Chang.
It appears as though Johnny Depp will be co-producing
the film. The word on the Internet streets is
that Depp?s a big fan of the comic book, perhaps even
anxious to play the starring role? If so, it?ll probably
be a while. Woo?s currently working on the second part
of ?Red Cliff?.

The Arthurian legend as retold in the American Old West, with all of its great symbolism, magic and spirit of adventure. The Knights of the Round Table are all gunslingers bound by a code of honor to protect the weak and defend the innocent until they are undone from within by their own moral corruption. In this tale, Caliber itself is a tattooed six-gun, given to Arthur by the Indians and imbued with supernatural power. The secret of the gun is that it is never loaded with bullets, but when a man with Justice on his side is holding it, it can fire. When it does, it fires Thunder itself and never misses.
