Keanu Reeves To Star In BRZRKR Film and Anime Series Based On His Comic Books

Keanu Reeves To Star In BRZRKR Film and Anime Series Based On His Comic Books
Netflix has secured the rights to "BRZRKR", the BOOM! Studios comic book created by Keanu Reeves, and the actor is set to star in and produce both a feature film adaptation, and an anime spinoff series.

The comic book originated from an original idea Reeves had been developing for a number of years. Reeves co-wrote the 12-issue limited series with New York Times bestselling writer Matt Kindt. The comic series is illustrated by famed Marvel artist Ron Garney, with colors by Bill Crabtree, letters by Clem Robins and character designs and covers by Rafael Grampá. The first issue launched on March 3 and has already sold over 615,000 copies, making it the highest-selling debut in almost 30 years.

The story follows an immortal warrior's 80,000 year fight through the ages. The man known only as 'B' (Reeves) 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 live-action film will be the first to be released, followed by the anime series, which will expand the BRZRKR universe by exploring different elements of the story with Reeves reprising his role and voice his character.

Reeves is producing alongside Ross Richie and Stephen Christy for BOOM! Studios, and Stephen Hamel for Company Films. BOOM!'s Adam Yoelin will serve as executive producer. BOOM! Studios has a first-look deal for live action and animated television series with Netflix

Reeves recently completed production on "Matrix 4" and will begin filming "John Wick 4" this Spring.
