Kamala Khan is a superhero fan with an imagination, particularly when it comes to Captain Marvel; Kamala feels like she doesn’t fit in at school and sometimes even at home, that is until she gets superpowers like the heroes she’s looked up to.
Even though the wildly popular Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is full of comedy, heart, and emotion, one thing it is severely lacking in is more coming-of-age-style stories. Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Homecoming was really the closest thing we ever got to a coming-of-age MCU film, and boy did it ever work.

Exclusive: Bold Films has acquired Children Of The Gun, an action spec by Will Dunn that Fabrice Du Welz will direct. Deal was worth low against mid six figures. Michael Litvak and David Lancaster will produce for Bold Films, and Sean Daniel and Gary Michael Walters are exec producer. Script is set in a desolate near future, where two survivors must unite, using their urban athleticism and a weapon from the past to escape their crumbling world, ruthless pursuers and their own violent history. Dunn is currently in the Fox writing program, and is one of three original members of the program asked back for a second year. The scribe first made a splash when Channing Tatum attached to his epic spec Ion. Dunn is repped by Wme, Think Tank Management and attorney Jeff Frankel.

Fox has found a writer for the full length sci-fi film Rosa, based on a short film that left a great many impressed in the festival circuit. That writer is Will Dunn, who’s only credit is Ion, a spec script snapped up by Ridley Scott, according to Hollywood Reporter.
The original Rosa short was written and directed by Jesus Orellana from his home computer in Barcelona, and is described as ”an epic sci-fi short film that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where all natural life has disappeared. From the destruction awakes Rosa, a cyborg deployed from the Kernel project, mankind’s last attempt to restore the earth’s ecosystem.

Back in December, we reported that Jesus Orellana‘s short science fiction film, Rosa, was being made into a full fledged feature-length project. Now, thanks to some news via Variety, we’ve learned that Will Dunn will be writing the live-action feature adaptation of Orellana‘s original short.
Dunn is a member of the 20th Century Fox writing program and previously wrote Ion, which has Channing Tatum attached. The short was made from Orellana‘s home computer back in Barcelona and began gaining recognition back in November, which is when Fox quickly picked it up for a feature deal just a few weeks later.
The story takes place in a “post-apocalyptic world where all natural life has disappeared. A cyborg named Rosa rises from the destruction with the goal of restoring the planet’s ecosystem”. However, Rosa “must fight for her survival upon learning she’s not the only entity that has awakened.

"Rosa" is now well on its way to getting the big-screen treatment, now that Twentieth Century Fox has found a writer for the project. Will Dunn, who you most likely have never heard of, is set to become one of the hottest new writers in the genre. His project, "Ion," was optioned by Ridley Scott's Scott Free production shingle. While that project sits in pre-production, it already has actors like Sammi Hanratty ("Pushing Daisies"), Kelly Gould ("The Ghost Whisperer") and Madison Leisle ("The Walking Dead") involved. In that film, a man -- reportedly played by "Magic Mike's" Channing Tatum -- is desperate to find his reincarnated lover, and travels to other planets and dimensions in search of her. But "Rosa" will be something much different. "Rosa" is currently a post-apocalyptic ...
