Netflix found some solid success with their Altered Carbon TV series earlier this year and has a second season moving through production now. And as we learned last November, they’re also looking to exploit the property in other areas, and territories, with an anime feature film coming out for it. That’s now gotten itself slotted on Netflix itself with the film page revealing the title with Altered Carbon: Resleeved. It doesn’t add any other new details beyond that but at least we have a name to work with now.
The film is being written by Dai Sato and Tsukasa Kondo and it was revealed that Anima is producing the animation.
According to the event, the film will “will explore new elements of the story mythology.”
The series is based on the 2002 novel by Richard K. Morgan and was adapted by Laeta Kalogridis, who is handling Battle Angel Alita. The show is set for a February 2nd, 2018 release.
Property Concept: Based on the classic cyberpunk noir novel by Richard K. Morgan, Altered Carbon is an intriguing story of murder, love, sex, and betrayal, set more than 300 years in the future. Society has been transformed by new technology: consciousness can be digitized; human bodies are interchangeable; death is no longer permanent. Takeshi Kovacs is the lone surviving soldier in a group of elite interstellar warriors who were defeated in an uprising against the new world order. His mind was imprisoned, “on ice”, for centuries until Laurens Bancroft, an impossibly wealthy, long-lived man, offers Kovacs the chance to live again. In exchange, Kovacs has to solve a murder … that of Bancroft himself.
