Stan Lee Developing Movie Based on Real Life Crime Fighter
Comics legend Stan Lee, along with Purveyors of Wonder (POW!)
Entertainment, is developing a movie based on the life of El Paso, TX-resident
and real life crime fighter Jay J. Armes.
Armes apparently lost both hands at the age of 12 while playing with dynamite, and has since overcome his injury with the help of interchangeable metal claws. He is now a successful private investigator.
"When I first met Jay, I was bowled over," Lee said. "I couldn't believe that a real live person could have the incredible powers that he possesses. He even resembles my own fictional comic book heroes in the respect that most of them gained their super power through some sort of accident. Spider-Man had been bitten by a genetically altered spider. The Hulk was the product of a gamma ray experiment gone wrong and Daredevil was blinded by radioactive chemical. As for Jay J. Armes, he lost both his hands in a childhood accident at the age of 12."
"This can truly be a tent pole franchise with the right studio partner," said POW! president Gill Champion. "Amazingly, Jay can now do more with the fantastic steel claws that have replaced his hands than people with their own hands can do. He can reach into fire, smash through doors, fire bullets with unerring accuracy, cut through metal, fly utilizing a jet pack, scuba dive, pilot a jet -- and he is master of the deadliest karate chop. No wonder Jay J. Armes is the most famous, most sought after investigator in the world."
Armes lives on a fourteen-acre estate, with nine full grown tigers, a chimpanzee, and his family. According to the press release, Armes uses his 750-pound tiger Gemini as a lie detector in difficult cases as he drives the powerful beast around in his specially equipped Hummer. Because of the intensely dangerous nature of his work, there have reportedly been fifteen assassination attempts on Jay's life.
A first draft treatment for the film has been written by scribe Scott Lobdell.
