Netflix is bringing the Millarworld comic book Reborn to life on screen, Deadline reports today, with Chris McKay (The LEGO Batman Movie) set to direct and both Sandra Bullock and Vertigo Entertainment on board to produce. Talk about a power team, eh?
The site even notes that Bullock *could* star in the film.
The sci-fi fantasy comic series by Mark Millar and Greg Capullo tells the story of an eighty year-old woman, Bonnie Black, who dies in a Manhattan hospital only to find herself reborn in the prime of life in the afterlife world of Adystria, a magical land of monsters and dragons where good and evil are waging an eternal war. There, she finds old friends and loved ones waiting, except the husband who died before her. Armed with a sword and partnered with her late father, she sets off through the battle-torn landscape on a quest to find out where he is.
Roy Lee and Miri Yoon will produce for Vertigo Entertainment. Executive producers will be Mark Millar and Greg Capullo. Co-producer will be Samantha Nisenboim.
