Universal Pictures has hired Dodgeball director Rawson Thurber to rewrite the screenplay for The Umbrella Academy, its adaptation of the acclaimed comic by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way and artist Gabriel Ba, Deadline reports.
Debuting in 2007 from Dark Horse, the comic centers on the members of the Umbrella Academy, children with extraordinary abilities who, under the tutelage of their adoptive father Sir Reginald Hargreeves, spent their youth fighting crime as a dysfunctional family of superheroes. But then something went horribly, horribly wrong. Nine years later, the estranged siblings reunite for the funeral of their mentor and to face a terrible threat to the planet.
