F Scott Frazier
, said The Hollywood Reporter.
Millar has partnered with producers Joe Roth and
Jeff Kirschenbaum
to adapt the fantasy series. Frazier's credits include '

Charlize Theron flaunts legs at The Hunstman photocall in Milan With the aid of a bodyguard, she escapes with her brood - Aine, her 15-year-old daughter who wants to be with her father; Adam, her gentle soul of a 10-year-old son who she knows would not survive the trials ahead to be an elite ruler; and Puck, her 18-month-old - to her home world. But the dictator husband, with armies at his disposal, isn't going to let her go without a fight.
"Nobody creates universes that translate into big movie ideas better than Millar," said Kirschenbaum. "With
Empress
, he's raised the bar yet again. Part
Star Wars
, part
Guardians of the Galaxy
and part something wholly fresh that only the amazing brain of Millar could spawn.
