EXCLUSIVE: Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s G-Unit Film & Television has optioned Christopher Priest’s comic Xerø for development alongside Color Farm Media as a live-action film with an eye on a franchise.

The film will follow a Black government assassin who weaponizes invisibility by disguising himself as a white man to blend anonymously into the exotic Casino Royale haunts of the international elite. Spanning the gulf between that and the disenfranchised city streets of East St. Louis, Illinois, Trane Walker is a man living in two worlds but taking ownership of neither. Xerø tells the story of his moral awakening and the life-and-death perils it presents.
