In an interview with Web and Comics journalist Nicholas Yanes of Scifipulse.net, Jones was asked if there were any plans to turn "Men of Tomorrow" into a film. He responded by stating the following: "I sold the screenplay to Michael Uslan at Comic Book Movies, but before we could put it on the market he declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which tied the rights up for over a year in court. The court’s now assigned the script to someone else, but nothing’s happening yet. Meanwhile, a couple of other producers are interested in adapting. Something will happen sooner or later."
