Paramount Pictures has acquired rights to turn the Valiant Comics series Harbinger into a live-action flick for director Brett Ratner, says Variety. Possibly released under the MTV Films banner, the picture will be produced by Ratner, Alexandra Milchan and Jay Stern. For folks unacquainted with the comic series, the article explains, “Harbingers are humans with powers that can be unlocked by ‘omega’ harbingers. Teenager Pete Stanchek finds himself on a collision course with an older ‘omega’ who used his gifts to become an evil industrialist.”
