Fifth Season Sets 'Button Man' For Series; 'The Fall Guy's David Leitch & Kelly McCormick In Talks To Helm Famed John Wagner Graphic Novel
Fifth Season has acquired Button Man, an adaptation of the graphic novel by John Wagner, who co-created Judge Dredd and created A History of Violence, latter of which was turned into a terrific action film by David Cronenberg. Deals are making, but the plan is for Leitch to direct, and he and McCormick will be executive producers alongside Alex Jackson, Roger Kass and Wagner and Ranson. While The Fall Guy plays as comedy, Button Man shapes up closer in tone to John Wick, the first installment of which Leitch co-directed with Chad Stahelski.
