A trailer for the comic-to-film adaptation of Officer Downe has been released and it’s a doozy! Full of violence, strange villains, and big guns, this looks like it’s either going to be helluva good time or a helluva WASTE of time. Obviously, I’m hoping for the former!

Adapted from the 2010 graphic novel by Chris Burnham and Joe Casey, “Officer Down takes you into a hyper-real Los Angeles for the story of a savage LA policeman who is repeatedly resurrected and returned to active duty via dark science technology. When a rookie officer named Gable is recruited as back up, he discovers there’s much more to the titular super-cop than a mindless law enforcement drone warring against a twisted rouges gallery of over-the-top super-villains.”
Directed by Slipknot’s M. Shawn Crahan and starring Kim Coates, Alison Lohman, Tyler Ross, Lauren Luna Velez, Meadow Williams, and Sam Witwer, the pulp-esque Officer Downe will hit VOD platforms on November 18th through Magnolia’s Magnet Releasing.
