Rex Features

Mark Canton will produce comic book adaptation Ramayan 3392 AD for Mandalay Pictures, Variety reports.

The Liquid Comics graphic novel is based on a Hindu poem about a blue-skinned warrior who battles to rescue his wife from a demon king.

Liquid Comics was formed after Richard Branson's Virgin Comics folded last month.

Master And Commander scribe John Collee will adapt Ramayan for the screen.

Canton's previous producing credits include 300, The Spiderwick Chronicles and Land Of The Dead.
