John Wells, Don Murphy to be Forgotten

Producers John Wells (John Wells Productions) and Don Murphy (Angryfilms) have purchased the option rights to independent comic THE FORGOTTEN, reports THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER.

Wells is producing with his company's president Claire Polstein while Angryfilms' Susan Montford will produce as well.

The story of THE FORGOTTEN is about a man who, no matter who he meets, is forgotten about five minutes later, allowing him to investigate crimes but leaves him lonely. The son of his old friend is wrongly accused of murder, and he uses his ability to solve the conspiracy.

Unveiled five years ago at Comic-Con in San Diego, indie publishers and co-creators Evan Young and Jareth Grealish put out a four-issue series and a collector's edition. The tone of the comic is described as a combination of MEMENTO and Philip K. Dick.

Murphy was a producer on TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN.
