Bek Smith has been set to pen the script for the sci-fi fantasy “Reborn,” a film adaptation of the 2016 Millarworld comic book setup at Netflix and Fortis Films.
The story follows an 80-year-old woman who dies in a hospital and wakes up as a much younger version of herself in a fantastical land of monsters and dragons where an endless war between good and evil wages on.
She is reunited with old friends and loved ones, except with her husband who died before her. With her late father and childhood dog, she sets out on a quest to find him.
Chris McKay (“The Lego Batman Movie”) is on board to direct while Sandra Bullock and Roy Lee will produce. Netflix just had a hit with their Millar comic adaptation “The Old Guard,” while Smith is working on the scripts for both a “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” spin-off and an adaptation of the Vertigo comic “100 Bullets”.
