Jeff Smith's 'RASL' Headed to Silver Screen?

Looks like fans of Jeff Smith's awesome Sci-Fi-Noir comic series, RASL can look forward to a future film adaptation. According to Deadline, Sherlock Holmes producer Lionel Wigram recently bought the film rights and plans on finding a writer and director to craft a franchise from the material. I think RASL is an extremely awesome book (though I wish it came out more often), so this is very interesting news. I'll be keeping on eye on how things shake out.
