Even though they're based on serialized stories in which grown men run around in costumes, most comic book movies thus far have been deadly serious, or at least big-budget enough to be taken seriously. (Say what you will about The Spirit, but at least it has a sense of humor... sometimes.) But now it looks like we might start getting the comic book equivalent of B-movies, with Legacy Filmworks planning to make 5 movies based on Arcana comic book titles.

The first one up gives you all the hints you need to know the camp potential here. THR reports that Paradox, a sci-fi thriller, will star Kevin Sorbo as a homicide cop on a parallel version of Earth, where people commit murders through the power of science. Need more evidence? The writer of the original comic series, Christos Gage, is also responsible for the 2001 thriller The Breed in which vampires walk among us.

Other titles up for development include a thriller called Chopper and Sundown, a Western vampire thriller. So far, so good. There's only so much room in the world for Iron Man and Spider-Man; Kevin Sorbo, we'll find space for you at the table as well.
