Boom! Studios has announced that the Mark Sable created mini-series Unthinkable has been optioned by Mandalay Pictures to be turned into a feature film.
“Unthinkable” centers on a brilliant man who was recruited just after 9/11 into a government think tank consisting of America’s most imaginative minds and tasked with dreaming up wild scenarios for possible attacks on U.S. soil. Years after the think tank was disbanded, the attacks the man concocted begin to occur, and he becomes the only one who can stop them. But the government has become his pursuer.
We’ve covered the series since it first debuted, and commented early on that this was a story that was perfect for a big screen adaptation. This is the sixth Boom! Studios title that has been optioned for a motion picture.
