Robert Rodriguez to Produce “Madman” Live-Action Film

I must admit to having never gotten into Michael Allred’s supposedly (I say “supposedly” because I’ve only heard about it, never witnessed it myself) kooky but fun comic book character about some guy who wears white tights and fights crime. I think he fights crime. Maybe he doesn’t fight crime. But I digress. Variety reports that Robert Rodriguez, who is already helming his own comic book turned movie sequel (”Sin City 2″) will produce the “Madman” live-action film based off Allred’s comics, with George Huang to direct. Huang’s big break was the 1994 movie “Swimming with Sharks” starring Kevin Spacey and the TV flick “How to Make a Monster”. He’s not exactly a great director, which bodes poorly for “Madman” the movie. But hey, I could be wrong. But I doubt it.
