Dog Savage is a character originally published in American pulp magazines during the 1930s and 1940s. Throughout the years Savage has appeared in comics, a movie, on radio, and in numerous other works.
The new film adaptation will be directed by Shane Black ("The Nice Guys") for Sony. Black will also co-write the script alongside Anthony Bagarozzi and Chuck Mondry, and according to the director, the film is said to be shot "as though it’s in the ‘30s, including all the Capra-esque elements of 1930s films like You Can't Take It With You.
Johnson himself provided a pretty great description of the character:
"Comic book fans around the world know that the cool thing about “Doc” Savage is that he’s the inspiration for Superman. First name Clark, called “Man of Bronze”, retreats to his “Fortress of Solitude” in the Arctic etc etc.
Doc was physically and mentally trained from birth by his father and a team of scientists to become the perfect human specimen with a genius level intellect. His heightened senses are beyond comprehension. He can even identify a women’s perfume from half a mile away. He is literally the master of everything.
But here’s the #1 reason I’m excited to become Doc Savage.. HE’S A F*CKING HILARIOUS WEIRDO! Confidently, yet innocently he has zero social graces whatsoever due to his upbringing so every interaction he has with someone is direct, odd, often uncomfortable and amazingly hilarious."
