According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, Ed Brisson and Johnnie Christmas’ recently-released comic series, “Sheltered,” has been optioned for the big screen. The screenplay will be written by Jesse Peyronel, who is also set to direct.

“Sheltered” is officially described as follows:

A pre-apocalyptic tale of survival at any cost. The men and women of Safe Haven have been preparing for any-and-all end of world scenarios for years. However, their bunkers, weapons and training can’t save them from the one threat they never could have expected: Their own children.

Circle of Confusion, the production company behind AMC’s hit series “The Walking Dead,” are working to take the project to film. So if you weren’t convinced before, now you should feel reassured. Circle of Confusion is producing the adaptation, targeting a late 2014 production.

Considering the large amount of post-apocalyptic tales we have floating around, it will be nice to see the events that lead up to the end of the world.

According to a report from Deadline, IDW Entertainment is planning on adapting a comic book from Michael Chiklis for television. The show will be based on the comic series called “Pantheon” which was originally created by Chiklis, Anny Simon Beck and Marc Andreyko and published in 2010.

The series pits Zeus’s fellow gods against the Titans in an epic battle of good versus evil, and father versus son. Breaking the golden rule of Greek mythology – to never reveal themselves – the gods Zeus, Aphrodite, Pandora, Cronus, Prometheus and Jason return to their timeless battles, as Armageddon nears.

“Pantheon” will be developed internally at IDW with Circle of Confusion co-producing and overseeing packaging and creative. The two companies will then shop the project around to networks, but for now the search is on for a showrunner to co-create the series along with Chiklis.

The television adaptation of “Pantheon” joins fellow greek-myth-based-comic book “Headache” on the small screen. Fox is developing Lisa Joy’s graphic novel as a drama titled “Athena.”

There is currently no word on who is being eyed for the lead roles in the adaptation or an anticipated premiere date. Those decisions will like be made after a network decides to pick up the project and green light a pilot episode.
