Keanu Reeves (John Wick 1, 2 and 3) is set to star in and produce BRZRKR, a Netflix’ live-action film adaptation of his BOOM! Studios-published comic book of the same name. The film will be followed by an anime spinoff series.
BRZRKR is 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 (via Deadline).
The BRZRKR comic book was based on an original idea by Reeves, and is co-written by New York Times bestselling writer Matt Kindt and illustrated by Marvel artist Ron Garney.
