(SCI FI WIre) Paramount will team with Marvel to develop a feature-film version of the Deathlok comic series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Stu Zickerman and Raven Mentzner will write the script, about a suburban family man who is unwittingly made a test subject for technology research that slowly turns him into a living computer, the trade paper reported.

\"We are all becoming more dependent on technology,\" Marvel Studios chief Avi Arad told the trade paper. \"One of these days it\'s going to be inside of us. For example, we won\'t need a cell phone; it\'ll be built into our ear. Now is that a cool thing, or will it destroy us as human beings? Deathlok explores what those consequences may be.\"

Marvel is producing the project with Crystal Sky Productions. Marvel and Crystal Sky are also developing Dimension Films\' Ghost Rider.
