Justin Lin to Direct Keanu Reeves in ‘BRZRKR’ at Netflix

“Fast and Furious” director Justin Lin is set to direct Keanu Reeves in “BRZRKR” at Netflix, TheWrap has learned.

“The Batman” screenwriter Mattson Tomlin is adapting the comic book series for the screen. Reeves is set to star in and produce the live-action film based on “BRZRKR,” a BOOM! Studios comic book series.

“BRZRKR” was co-written by Reeves and Matt Kindt, with illustrations by Marvel artist Ron Garney and colors by Bill Crabtree, letters by Clem Robins and character designs and covers by Rafael Grampá.

“BRZRKR” is a brutally epic saga 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.

Reeves will produce the film alongside Ross Richie and Stephen Christy for BOOM! Studios and Stephen Hamel for Company Films. Lin is also producing via his Perfect Storm banner.

The move brings Lin and Reeves together again, as Reeves previously invested in Lin’s recent indie drama “Last Days,” which debuted at Sundance in January.
