The Hollywood Reporter reports that Warner Bros. has picked up the rights to "Hiding in Time," a comic book series created by Christopher Long and illustrated by Ryan Winn. Image Shadowline published the series.

The story is set in a not-too-distant future in which the Witness Protection Program uses time travel to relocate high-value witnesses into the past for safe keeping. When the program is compromised, a government scientist must travel back through the greatest moments in history to help a master thief rescue his old crew from the assassins sent back by their former employer.

Beau Thorne will pen the screenplay while Dan Lin will produce via his Lin Pictures banner.
