** Mind’s Eye Entertainment to Develop Movie Theate Feature Film/MOVIE (Circa 2019-2020??)  Based on Canadian Superhero CAPTAIN CANUCK //

(Los Angeles, CA) July 19 , 2011 Minds Eye Entertainment has picked up the rights to the Canadian comic book Superhero CAPTAIN CANUCK from writer/creator Richard Comely, as announced today by Kevin DeWalt, CEO and President of Minds Eye. Working closely with Comely, Minds Eye is currently in development on a film adaptation based on the comic book series. The first issue of CAPTAIN CANUCK hit newsstands in May 1975. Thirty-Eight years later, the superhero franchise has garnered fans around the world. To date, more than 2 million copies have been sold and 26 different editions have been printed. IDW Publishing recently published two hard cover collections of the original issues that have since sold out. DeWalt said: I have always been a big fan of CAPTAIN CANUCK, and we are honored to be working with Richard on bringing Canada’s greatest Superhero to the big screen. Over the years, there have been a number of licensed CAPTAIN CANUCK products, including t-shirts, sweat shirts, doodle posters, etc. Canada  In addition, CAPTAIN CANUCK has also made the cover of TIME magazine. Creator Comely said: I’ve had a great beginning with Minds Eye. I’m confident we can make a movie that will appeal to audiences both in Canada and around the world.  On July 12, 2012 it was announced that ARNE OLSEN (Canadian-born Hollywood-based screenwriter) is on board to adapt Richard Comely's iconic Canadian crusader CAPTAIN CANUCK for the big screen, for Minds Eye Entertainment (one of Canada's most prolific independent TV & Movie production and distribution companies).  Arne Olsen has had 12 movies produced including  (MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE MOVIE, COP AND A HALF, REPEATERS, ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN II, and RED SCORPION);  Arne Olsen said to expect it to be more of a Suspense Thriller (similar to Carl Bessai’s Repeaters) and not like the typical hollywood Superhero movies.

NOTE; 99% of ALL vintage Captain Canuck ORIGINAL ART is now in Canada's National Archives;
