Keanu Reeves Offers Update on His BRZRKR Movie and Reveals THE BATMAN Writer Mattson Tomlin Is Working on It

Last year it was announced that Keanu Reeves’ BOOM! Studios comic book BRZRKR was being adapted into a live-action film and anime series. When that comic book initially launched, we all knew that it would end up being adapted and that Reeves would star in it — Reeves was the main character in the comic!

During a recent interview with Collider, Reeves revealed that The Batman co-writer Mattson Tomlin was writing the script for this film. The actor shared the following information on the project:

"We're working with Netflix who have been very cool. They're going to let us do an R-rated story which is cool. My ambition or hope is not to do a filmed version of the comic book so that they'll have things in common, definitely the main character and his kind of rule set, but that we can take it to other places as well. We're talking to a couple of different animation companies and trying to figure that out. And, again, for me I'm hoping to be inspired and influenced...there are some rules to the story, but I also want other creators to do their version of it. So I'm hoping to do a different version of a metaverse where in the sense having different storytellers with one set of rules but go other places with it. We're working on trying to set up a company with the animation and we've hired a writer for the film Mattson Tomlin. He's been cool and just starting to put things together. That's where we're at."

Sounds like they got some cool and exciting things planned for BRZRKR. The story is described as a “brutally epic saga about 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.”

Are you excite about these BRZRKR projects that that are in development?
