In the last twenty-four hours, both Duncan Rouleau’s The Great Unknown and Rosario Dawson’s O.C.T. are set for the Hollywood treatment, according to separate stories in The Hollywood Reporter.Dawson, who co-wrote and co-owns O.C.T. with David Atchison and Tony Shasteen, follows the exploits of the New York Police Department’s Occult Crimes Taskforce, not entirely unlike other comics-turned-movies like Hellboy or Dylan Dog. After a failed movie pitch last year, Dawson has hooked up with Gale Anne Hurd, one of the producers on AMC’s The Walking Dead, to bring the title to A&E as a potential starring vehicle for Dawson. The physical resemblance between Dawson and lead character Sophia Ortiz led many to believe that the series was being written and drawn almost exclusively as a pitch to Hollywood a la Rashida Jones’ Frenemy of the State.
