“Godzilla vs. Kong” director Adam Wingard has signed on to direct a film adaptation of the comic “Hardcore” at Universal Pictures.
The Skybound and Image Comics title, which hails from “The Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman and Marc Silvestri, is a sci-fi thriller following a soldier’s journey as he saves the world without getting his hands dirty.
Kirkman wrote an outline for the story, and Wingard will co-write the screenplay alongside rising scribe Will Simmon. Kirkman, David Alpert, Bryan Furst and Sean Furst will produce.
Wingard remains attached to both an animated “Thundercats” film at Warners and a “Face/Off” sequel at Paramount.
