He is one busy filmmaker, and Adam Wingard, hot off the success of Godzilla Vs Kong, has signed up to helm the feature adaptation of Robert Kirkman and Marc Silvestri comic book Hardcore for Universal Pictures.
Deadline reports the news that Wingard will also co-write the screenplay for the project alongside Will Simmons.
As per Image Comics, the synopsis for Hardcore is as follows:
Imagine being able to take over the body of anyone on Earth. Sound crazy? Not for Agent Drake and the Hardcore Program. They can turn any person into a human drone to get to targets that normal soldiers can’t. Drake is the best soldier Hardcore has to offer. But when he gets stranded in a body with only 72 hours to discover who’s hijacked the Program, he’ll have to pull out all the stops against an enemy who could be literally anyone.
If you follow that link above, you’ll also be able to read the first issue for free online.
Yes, I’m up for this one. As well as this, Wingard also has a Face/Off sequel/reboot in the offing, as well as another movie in the Kong and Godzilla MonsterVerse over at Warner Brothers.
More on this as it shoots our way.
