Adam Wingard is set to direct ‘Hardcore’. The ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ filmmaker will helm the upcoming action movie for Universal, which is a film adaptation of a comic series co-created by ‘The Walking Dead’ creator Robert Kirkman alongside Marc Silvestri. ‘Hardcore’ is an action and science-fiction thriller, and Kirkman also wrote an original outline for the film version of the story. The comic – which is rated Mature – follows a soldier as he works to save the world without getting his hands dirty, and the first volume imagines a soldier who can hijack the body of anyone in the world and take control of them to target enemies that normal soldiers can’t.
