Watch A Live-Action Prequel To The ‘Rubicon’ Graphic Novel!

Briefly: Did you know that Academy Award winning screenwriter Chris McQuarie (The Usual Suspects), also wrote a graphic novel?

It’s called Rubicon, and it’s a re-imagining of Seven Samurai, set during the War in Afghanistan. The novel focuses on five paramilitary Navy SEAL operators who are defending the residents of a remote mountain farming village from attacks by marauding Taliban.

The book is fantastic, but it definitely leaves you wanting more. How about what happened before the graphic novel?

Machinima has got you covered on that front. Long (Hawken) and McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects, Jack Reacher) joined forces with director Christian Johnston for a live-action prequel that is now live on Machinima Prime.

Take a look at the pilot below, and let us know how cool it is!
