Matthew Fox is... Billy Smoke?
The smoke monster from Lost isn?t looking like the only cloud of dark haze Matthew Fox will have associated himself with. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lost?s own Jack Shephard is currently in negotiations to play comic book personality Billy Smoke. The story centers on an elite hit-man who is nearly killed during a botched job. He realizes that his only way to find redemption is to rid the world of all assassins. Oh boy! The comic book is set to hit bookshelves in 2009 by way of publishers Oni Press. Oni is behind such franchises as Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Last Call, and Hawaiian Dick ? all of which are on their way to becoming feature films. Smoke, written by B. Clay Moore and illustrated by Eric Kim was snatched by Warner Bros for production. No word on when the project will actually begin to come together.
