Today at Emerald City Comic Con's RevolutiONIze Comics Panel, Oni Press brought The Sixth Gun creative team Cullen Bunn, Brian Hurtt and Bill Crabtree on stage to discuss their book and its forthcoming television adaptation from NBC. "We've been dying to let The Sixth Gun fans know what's going on with the newly greenlit pilot on NBC. The pilot begins shooting March 18th and a few cast members have already been announced. Laura Ramsey (The Ruins) will be playing the female lead character, Becky Montcrief. Other cast members recently added are W. Earl Brown (Deadwood) playing General Hume, Graham McTavish (The Hobbit) in the role of Silas Hedgepeth, and Aldis Hodge (Leverage) as Agent Mercer," said Oni Press's Editor in Chief, James Lucas Jones. The Sixth Gun pilot is written by Ryan Condal (Hercules: The Thracian Wars), directed by Jeffrey Reiner, and produced by Carlton Cuse (Lost). "This has been a big part of my life's work and I couldn't be more humbled and overjoyed to see this series picked up," said Bunn. Hurtt added, "I'm very excited at the prospect of seeing our work brought to life and equally excited by the creative folks involved in this venture! Their enthusiasm and grasp of the world we've created is humbling!" Colorist Bill Crabtree said, "Being on this journey with these two goofballs has been more than fun and I hope to see this show picked up for a season." Hurtt added, "I just want thank all of our fans who bought our books, came to shows to say hello, and told their friends about The Sixth Gun. Without our fans, this dream of being a comic book artist would not be real."
