Netflix has confirmed a live-action adaptation of Keanu Reeves’ comic book series ‘BRZRKR’. It will be followed by an anime series.
All three are helmed by BOOM! Studios, that has signed a first-look deal with Netflix.
The comic has been created by Reeves and written by him, along with New York Times bestselling writer Matt Kindt.
Reeves has also been cast to headline the live-action adaptation.
The official synopsis by Netflix reads:
“BRZRKR is a brutally epic saga about an immortal warrior’s 80,000 year fight through the ages. The man known only as “B” is half-mortal and half-god, cursed and compelled to violence… even at the sacrifice of his sanity.
“But after wandering the earth for centuries, B may have finally found a refuge – working for the U.S. government to fight the battles too violent and too dangerous for anyone else. In exchange, B will be granted the one thing he desires – the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence…and how to end it.”
The 12-issue comic series was launched on March 3, and has already sold over 615,000 copies.
