RZA signs up to direct adaption of Grant Morrison's <em>Happy!</em>

The Man With The Iron Fists director is The Man With The Busy Schedule.

With his directorial debut and accompanying soundtrack due out in the next few weeks, the RZA is striking while the iron is hot. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he has signed up to adapt Grant Morrison’s latest comic, Happy!.

Happy! debuted just last month via Image Comics, featuring art by industry vet Darick Robertson. It centers a corrupt ex-cop and hit man who, after a hit goes bad, is suddenly able to see Happy, “a cheerful little blue horse who won’t give in to adversity, no matter what unpleasant obstacles are in the way.” It has been described as a mix between It’s a Wonderful Life, Sin City and Care Bears.

RZA will co-produce with Reginald Hudlin, the director of House Party and former president of BET; the pair announced a partnership at this year’s Comic-Con.

Morrison will write the script. He is best known for his acclaimed runs on various Batman, Superman, and X-Men titles, and he has been awarded the honor of Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty the Queen for his services to literature.
