Dustin Lance Black, who won an Oscar for Milk
and gave an acceptance speech so moving that even if you weren't rooting for him a minute before you were by the end, has signed on to adapt and direct Dark Horse graphic novel 3 Story: The Secret History of the Giant Man for Warner Bros.
The story follows a man called Craig Pressgang who just keeps growing throughout his life, and the difficulties this presents for someone in a fragile world. The book's story is told through the eyes of three women - mother, wife and his daughter - as he proceeds from birth to three-storey height, but we're told that this take will focus on the father-daughter relationship. Think Benjamin Button but with height instead of youthfulness.
Black, who recently directed his first feature film in What's Wrong With Virginia starring Ed Harris, Jennifer Connelly and Emma Roberts, will be writing and directing, but there's no word on the cast just yet.
