Charlize Theron is in negotiations to star in Jinx, an adaptation of a Brian Michael Bendis comic book that Circle of Confusion is producing for Universal Pictures. The actress, who won an Oscar for her performance in Monster, also will produce through her Denver & Delilah Films banner. Jinx is about a bounty hunter who has to learn to trust a wanted criminal so they can team up to find millions of dollars of abandoned mob money in order to start a new life together. Bendis, who spent 2 1/2 years writing and illustrating the comic, will adapt his own work. Circle of Confusion's David Engel is producing along with the company's Lawrence Mattis and Jason Lust. Denver & Delilah's Meagan Riley-Grant also is producing. Scott Stuber and Jeff Kirchenbaum are overseeing for Universal.

In a pre-emptive bid, Regency Enterprises is in negotiations to pick up feature film rights to the graphic novel Hammer of the Gods, with veteran writing duo Peter Wortmann and Bob Conte attached to script in a deal worth mid- against high-six figures. David Engel and David Alpert at Circle of Confusion will produce the project, which Regency hopes to bring to the big screen as a summer tentpole, sources said. It's described as a fantasy project similar to The Lord of the Rings but adding in Norse mythology with a contemporary twist. It follows a 21-year-old man who one day learns that he is fated to save another world -- the Norse world. If he fails, that world will fail, and evil will bleed into the present day.
