A lot of attention has recently been put on a 2004 graphic novel called Hench, ever since Warner Bros. announced a comedy adaptation of the comic starring Danny McBride (The Foot Fist Way, Pineapple Express). Set to be written by McBride and his Eastbound and Down buddy Shawn Harwell, Hench is the story of a disabled football player who finds work as a henchman for a supervillain.

So what does Hench co-creator Adam Beechen think about the movie adaptation? Well, in talking to Comic Book Resources, Beechen revealed his thoughts about the project:

A couple of days ago it was reported that rising comedy star Danny McBride (Pineapple Express, The Foot Fist Way) is going to be starring in an adaptation of the 2004 64-page black-and-white graphic novel entitled Hench. The rights were acquired by Warner Bros. and they plan to develop the project as a “comic-book comedy” as a star vehicle for McBride. The script is to be co-written by McBride himself alongside HBO Eastbound and Down buddy Shawn Harwell.
