Native American-owned A.N. Group announces the acquisition of the intellectual property rights to The Rook, described as "the popular graphic story series created by W.B. DuBay and Budd Lewis," saying they intend to bring the property to television, film, and gaming. The Rook, aka Restin Dane, is a time traveler, as he is a descendant of the time-traveling scientist in H.G. Wells' The Time Machine. Word is: "The Rook fights to right history's wrongs while exploring his own fascinating historical roots and saving those he loves from the ravages of time." Joystiq contacted A.N. Group with questions about this, and asked about platforms: "I would never frown on any format or any idea of that nature, but as far as the modules for the iPhones with touch -- I'm much more interested in the console or PC format," creative consultant Brady Baya told them. "It's still very much in the infancy stage -- I think there's some connections with EA, but really we're gonna network with all the major players to see who has a take on what. I'm thinking there's huge potential for an MMO as well as an adventure platform as far as where we wanna go with it."
