Summit Ramps Up with 'Alibi'



In the glow of the success of “New Moon,” Summit is ramping up its development slate with projects that couldn’t be further from vampire-romance territory.

The company is developing a feature version of the Top Cow comic book “Alibi,” tapping John Hlavin to pen the adaptation to be produced by Mandeville’s David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman. I

The deal is in the early stages. The “Alibi” producers’ deals are in negotiations.

“Alibi,” published last year, centers on a well-known socialite whose public presence establishes a perfect cover for the covert activity of his secret twin brother, a government assassin. The comic was created by Top Cow president and COO Matt Hawkins and Michael Renegar, written by Joshua Hale Fialkov and illustrated by Jeremy Haun.
