Sam Sarkar and "Caliber" at Comic Con

All eyes have shifted to San Diego and Comic Con as Radical Publishing showcases Caliber, written by Sam Sarkar and illustrated by Garrie Gastonny. Johnny Depp's Infinitum Nihil will be bringing this western gunslinger's tale to film with a new take on the Arthurian legends. Caliber is to be directed by John Woo. Sam was present yesterday and graciously signed books and posted for photos with fans! What a great guy he is! Sam has more appearances slated for this weekend.

John Woo tapped to direct Infinitum Nihil's Caliber


John Woo has been tapped as director for the adaptation of Sam Sarkar's graphic novel series Caliber. Radical Publishing's Caliber puts King Arthur and his knights in the Pacific Northwest of the 19th century as gunslingers and gives a whole new take on the meaning of the word "caliber".

Infinitum Nihil is listed with Barry Levine's Radical Comics and Lion Rock ( run by Woo with partner Terence Chang) as co-producers for Caliber according to Variety http://www.variety.com/VR1117989053.html


Sarkar is also Director of Development for Johnny Depp's Infinitum Nihil production company.


Look for Sarkar to appear at the upcoming Comic-Con in San Diego this week promoting Caliber.
