James Wan‘s Atomic Monster will produce a television series adaptation of the Nocterra comic book from Image Comics, we’ve learned today, which has been set up over at Netflix.
Nocterra is a high-octane sci-fi adventure telling the story of Val Riggs, a “Ferryman” who relays people and goods through a world enveloped by a lasting darkness that turns the living into monstrous creatures called shades.
The press release details, “Netflix today announced a multi-year overall deal with writer/producer Roberto Patino (DMZ, Westworld, Sons of Anarchy). Under the agreement, Patino will set up his own production banner, Analog Inc., for Netflix, and focus on original development for series and other projects.
“As his first project for Netflix, Patino is currently writing an adaptation of the popular Image Comics book Nocterra by Scott Snyder and Tony S. Daniel. In early development stages, Patino will write, serve as showrunner and executive producer alongside James Wan’s production company, Atomic Monster.”
James Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett will serve as Executive Producers.
The Nocterra comic series is brand new, launching earlier this year.
