NBC has ordered a pilot based on the graphic novel The Sixth Gun, by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt. Published by Oni Press, the supernatural Western focuses on a set of six mythical guns, the last of which turns up in the hands of a young girl named Becky. This sets evil forces on her trail bent on killing her and getting the gun, with a single gunfighter, Drake Sinclair, the only thing standing in their way.
The pilot is being produced by Lost's Carlton Cuse, and is being written by Ryan Condal. Previously, SyFy had been developing the property as a mini-series.
