Adam Wingard Directing Film Hardcore for Universal Pictures


Following the surprise box office success of Godzilla Vs. Kong, Adam Wingard -the director- is set to direct the action movie called Hardcore at Universal, a film adaptation of a comic book series co-created by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman (co-creator of Invincible).

Hardcore is an action and science-fiction thriller following a soldier’s journey as he saves the world without getting his arms soiled. It’s based on a Skybound and Image comic book series co-created by Kirkman and Marc Silvestri. The script is based on an original outline from Kirkman, which Wingard will adapt with up-and-coming writer Will Simmons (reboots for “Sleepy Hollow” and “Internal Affairs” at Paramount).

The comic focuses on Agent Drake of the Hardcore Program, who can take over the body of anyone on Earth and turn them into a human drone. When Drake gets stranded in a body with only 72 hours to discover who’s hijacked the Program, he has to pull out all the stops against an enemy who could be anyone.

Godzilla vs. Kong is a straight-up action picture & science-fiction exploration film. It was launched in theaters on March 31. The monster showdown has topped $400 million at the box office, marking the highest-grossing release of the pandemic era. Now, Wingard is attached to direct another film in that MonsterVerse.

Universal Pictures’ EVP of Production, Matt Reilly, will oversee the project for the studio. Skybound and Wingard’s Montauk Chair will produce the movie with Kirkman, David Alpert, Bryan Furst, and Sean Furst executive producing.
