'Babylon 5' creator J Michael Straczynski and digital company Graphic India are collaborating to turn his upcoming graphic novel 'Titans' into a feature film.

Straczynski, who has scripted for the long-running Marvel comic book series 'The Amazing Spider-Man', will write the script and produce through his Studio JMS banner.

Chernin Entertainment, producers of 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' will produce with Graphic India, reported Deadline.

"In an increasingly international marketplace, Titans represents the kind of multinational storytelling that will play an ever more important role in both film and publishing.

Sharad Devarajan and Gotham Chopra (Graphic India) have been extremely supportive of this story, and Peter Chernin is exactly the right person to shepherd this into a successful film franchise," said Straczynski.
