David Goyer Bringing Vertigo's FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics to the Big Screen

David Goyer may be the man at the center of Warner Bros.' superhero universe, but he's also using that position to adapt DC titles that are on the fringes. He's already helping Joseph Gordon-Levitt on a screen version of Neil Gaiman's Sandman, and now he's bringing Vertigo Comics' popular  FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics to theaters.

Goyer is producing an adaptation of the ongoing comics series by Simon Oliver and Robbi Rodriguez, with Justin Marks working on the screenplay. Goyer and Marks have been developing the Green Arrow film, Escape from Super Max, for years without anything really happening with it. He also penned the screenplay for Warner Bros.' Suicide Squad film that never happened. Marks is also coming off scripting Jon Favreau's version of The Jungle Book.

FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics takes place in a near future when the fabric of space-time has been distorted and quantum disturbances have become a way of life. The FBP is a team of experts in the field of quantum physics put together to try and deal with the fallout. The focus is on a single agent, the brash Adam Hardy, as he ventures to an alternate dimension known as the "Bubbleverse" for a unique rescue mission.

FBP is arguably the hottest books Vertigo is currently publishing, so it was only a matter of time before it was targeted for a film. Hopefully this one moves faster than the forever-developing adaptation of Y: The Last Man.  [Deadline]
