Another comic adaptation is on its way, this time from 20th Century Fox. THR is reporting that the studio has picked up the movie rights to Mind MGMT, the Dark Horse comic by Matt Kindt. Read on for details.

Ridley Scott is producing via his Fox-based Scott Free banner, along with Dark Horse Entertainment’s Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg.

Mind MGMT centers on a government agency consisting of psychic spies and their greatest asset, Henry Lime. After he suffers a breakdown and loses control of his abilities, causing the populace of a town to kill one another, he goes on the run. Several years later, a true-crime author named Meru, who was part of a flight where everyone mysteriously developed amnesia, is saved by Lime and begins to investigate the agency, uncovering her own secret connection to it.

A search for a writer to adapt is under way.
