Summit is best known for Twilight , but the company has put weight behind other genre-ish stuff that has, let’s say, a more masculine appeal. As recent examples, there was the semi-superhero film Push , and the Nic Cage film Knowing . Now the studio is getting behind an adaptation of the Top Cow comic series Alibi and an alien invasion film called, er, Invasion . Variety reports on Alibi , which was optioned by the same outfit behind the Bruce Willis film Surrogates , and will be written by John Hlavin . The original comic, created by Top Cow’s Matt Hawkins and Michael Renegar, written by Joshua Hale Fialkov and illustrated by Jeremy Haun, “centers on a well-known socialite whose public presence establishes a perfect cover for the covert activity of his secret twin brother, a government assassin.” If the twin brother’s existence is a secret, I don’t know why he needs the alibi; I’m sure there’s more to the story.
