Fixing things up for its new project of "Deadman", Warner Bros. Pictures has assigned newcomer Gary Dauberman to pen the project's script as the studio sets it up to be a potential directing vehicle for Guillermo del Toro, Variety has learned.

An adaptation of the DC Comics' superhero series created by Arnold Drake and Carmine Infantino, the picture centers on the titular character who is the ghost of a murdered circus acrobat possessing the power to possess the living in order to seek out his killer as well as to help the innocent.

Here del Toro is also plotted to take seat as producer along with Angry Films' Don Murphy and Murphy's partner Susan Montford. No words yet on either cast members or production details, so keep sticking to this site for further tidbits about the flick then.
