Introduction to BRZRKR

BRZRKR is a popular comic book series created by Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt. The story follows an immortal warrior known as 'B' who has lived for 80,000 years, fighting in various battles and wars throughout history. Despite his immortality, 'B' is tired of his endless life and seeks a way to end it.

Netflix announced plans to adapt BRZRKR into both a live-action movie and an anime series in 2021, with Keanu Reeves set to star in the film and voice his character in the anime. However, there has been little update on the projects since then.

Director Justin Lin Joins the Project

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has now tapped Justin Lin, known for his work on the Fast & Furious franchise, to direct the live-action movie adaptation of BRZRKR. Mattson Tomlin, showrunner of Terminator Zero, is writing the script for both the movie and the anime series.

The addition of Justin Lin to the project brings a wealth of experience in action-packed films, which is fitting for a story like BRZRKR that promises plenty of violence and action. With Lin on board, fans of the comic book series can expect a thrilling adaptation that stays true to the original story.

What to Expect from the Adaptation

While there is no release date announced for the Netflix adaptations, fans can expect both the live-action movie and the anime series to bring the world of BRZRKR to life in a unique and exciting way. The story's blend of action, drama, and fantasy elements makes it a great fit for both film and television.

Keanu Reeves' involvement in the project, both as a creator and a star, ensures that the adaptation will stay true to the spirit of the comic book series. With Justin Lin at the helm, the live-action movie is likely to be a fast-paced and thrilling ride, while the anime series will offer a fresh and stylized take on the story.
