Sandra Bullock is working on a team with Netflix to produce a movie titled “Reborn” for the streaming service. Chris McKay has been hired to direct the adaptation of the comic. The producer of “IT,” Vertigo Entertainment, is also on board to produce this film. Bullock starred in the Netflix movie “Bird Box,” which has been viewed in more than 80 million homes, according to the streaming giant.
“Reborn” tells the story of an 80-year-old woman named Bonnie, who dies in a hospital and wakes up in a new world called Adystria. However, when reborn in the afterlife, Bonnie is now in the prime of her life, and is trapped in an eternal war that is being waged in this whole new world. Accompanied by her family’s dog and her deceased father, Bonnie tries to find her husband and put an end to the Adystria struggles.
McKay directed “The Lego Batman Movie” and is the executive producer of “The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part,” which premieres on February 7. Netflix bought Millarworld, the comic book publisher founded by Millar, creator of characters and stories such as Kick-Ass, Kingsman and Old Man Logan, in 2017. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Netflix said at the time that it would develop movies, television shows and children’s series based on the Millarworld character franchise portfolio.
Bullock is not only ready to work on the film from behind the scenes, but in the report covered by Deadline Hollywood affirmed that she could also be the lead protagonist in the science fiction film.
