Image Comics' Bitter Root may have only hit comic shops five months ago, but it may soon be headed to the big screen. 

Deadline has reported that Legendary Entertainment has bought the feature film rights to the series created by David F. Walker, Sanford Greene and Chuck Brown. 

The creative team will serve as executive producers on the movie. 

The series plot synopsis: 

Once known as the greatest monster hunters of all time, the Sangerye family specialized in curing the souls of those infected by hate. But those days are fading. A terrible tragedy has claimed most of the family, leaving the surviving cousins divided between by the desire to cure monsters or to kill them. Now, though, there's a new breed of monster loose on the streets of Harlem, and the Sangerye family must either come together or watch the human race fall to untold evil.

Legendary Entertainment also recently picked up the film rights for Image's God Country and Prince of Cats

The Bitter Root trade paperback (MAR190071) is now availble to pre-order in the May PREVIEWS catalog.
