The Hollywood Reporter says:

“Paramount has picked up rights to “Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel,” a graphic novel-picture book hybrid by Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett, the creators of comic book series “Heartbreakers,” for an adaptation to be produced by Abrams and his banner.

“Boilerplate” purports to tell the story of the world’s first robot, who, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, fought alongside Teddy Roosevelt and Lawrence of Arabia, journeyed to the South Pole and was involved in the silent movie business before disappearing on the battlefields of World War I.”

Everyone at Periscope is tremendously excited about the wild enthusiasm with which fans everywhere have greeted Boilerplate, and we can’t wait to see how things develop!

Get the book at Powell’s or Amazon.com
