For San Francisco film lovers, we are pleased to present this story from “The Moving Picture.”

Arcana Studios is developing a feature version of the comic book series Paradox, report the trades. Christos Gage, who wrote the Arcana Comics three-issue limited series, penned the script with Ruth Fletcher.

Kevin Sorbo is attached to star and Brenton Spencer will direct. Spencer is a veteran television director, having helmed episodes for Stargate: Atlantis, Earth: Final Conflict, Andromeda and The Outer Limits.

Paradox centers on homicide detective Sean Nault (Sorbo), a cop on a parallel Earth whose technology is powered exclusively by magic. Sean investigates a baffling series of murders committed by a means he’s never seen before: the power of science.

With the aid of Lenoir – a member of the ridiculed subculture of “pragmatists” who believe science is more than the stuff of myths and children’s stories – and the 130 year old sorcerer Winston Churchill, Sean uncovers an apocalyptic plot that will lead him to another dimension – ours – and the realization that, unless he prevents it, both earths could well be destroyed.

The Gages previously wrote the 2001 Adrian Paul action-horror flick The Breed and worked on Law and Order: SVU. Christos Gage’s other comic writing credits include Deadshot for DC Comics and Union Jack and Avengers: The Initiative for Marvel.

Aaron L. Gilbert and Sean P. O’Reilly will produce.
