Lionsgate has just grabbed the rights to Pencilneck, an adaptation of the Victor Carungi comic published by Paper Street Comics, so sayeth the Reporter. The comic is a crime thriller and follows a banker who has to join the mob to help his criminal brother. When things don?t go as planned, the once mild-mannered banker loses it, and goes on a rampage to save his brother. That?s what we do when our editors are taken hostage?not that they ever return the favor!
