The 3 Geeks Comic Book Being Turned Into a Movie Posted: Feb 19, 2007

While no major studio has signed on to make or distribute the film, independent filmmaker Heath McKnight has signed on to help make the movie.

The 3 Geeks tells the story of three teenagers, Keith, Jim and Allen, and their adventures (or "misadventures") as obsessed comic book geeks.

"We were in the final stages of pre-production on my feature film 9:04 AM in late 2006, when I came across The 3 Geeks for the first time in years," said McKnight. "I had purchased 'Going to the Con' from Rich back in 1998, and was once again surprised at how great the comics are, and how much this geek can relate to the characters."

McKnight, who has produced and directed several feature and short films, will co-produce and direct, with Koslowski also co-producing. The screenplay is being written by Jeremiah Hall.

“When Heath first approached me about 'The 3 Geeks,' I was surprised,” said Hall. “This is a departure for us. Our focus in the past has been drama. Growing up, my heroes were The Marx Brothers and Woody Allen. For me, this is a dream come true - comedy."

A potential release date has not yet been set as the film is still in the early stages and has yet to be cast.
