In January, news broke that a feature film version of Jericho was being developed. Yesterday SCI FI Wire reported that the movie is actively in development, quoting co-executive producer Dan Shotz:
“It’s not just wishful thinking,” Shotz said in an exclusive interview Tuesday at CBS Studios in Studio City, Calif., where he screened the pilot of his new series, Harper’s Island. He added: “We’ve … been developing a feature to hopefully make, because we would love to. I mean, … Jericho is so built in a way, … especially where we left off season two, to create a feature. So our hope is to launch this comic-book series and then, with the development at the same time of the feature, hopefully get that launched as well.”
The comic book series Shotz refers to will be released by Devil’s Due Publishing this fall.

More Jericho, in comic and movie, is just what is needed.

At the moment I am more excited for the comic book series than any potential movie.
