An AUTHORITY Film?

This is odd. Buried in Dean Haspiel's account of how he received his greatly-deserved Emmy is this aside:

…I met and spoke to Stana Katic, star of TV show, CASTLE, and told her how much I loved her in Frank Miller's SPIRIT movie [she was my favorite part of the movie:]… …Stana told me she was in the midst of creating a new comic book and was in talks to act in a movie version of Warren Ellis' THE AUTHORITY.
