Variety reports Bryan Singer (Valkyrie, Superman Returns) has been attached to potentially direct an adaptation of the Radical Publishing comicbook series Freedom Formula: Ghost of the Wasteland. Here is a frame from the comic:

Plot: Extreme high-speed exo-suits called Vicious Cycles (VXs) race for entertainment on the track driven by captive members of a bloodline genetically bred solely for speed. Zee, the son of an escaped racer, returns to the city, manipulated by his father to fulfill his fate as a savior for the enslaved racers. Despite realizing this, Zee joins the illegal street race known as the Freedom Formula – a path that will rush him and all those around him to a fate with an exacting price!

Radical’s president Barry Levine claims that writer Michael Finch has come up with “an incredible take that goes deeper into the mythology of the source material.”

I think this looks like a good project for Singer. I’m excited to see what he does with sci-fi, and the artwork looks great.

What do you think of Singer? Freedom Formula?
