Netflix Developing Film Adaptation of the Superhero Comics IRREDEEMABLE and INCORRUPTIBLE
Netflix has announced that they are developing a film adaptation of the bestselling Boom! Studios comic book series Irredeemable and its sister series Incorruptible. BAFTA-winning filmmaker Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall) is directing, Oscar-nominated writer Kemp Powers is adapting the script, and producers Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter and James Lassiter are on board as well.
In the graphic novel series, “when the world’s most powerful and beloved superhero, the god-like Plutonian, inexplicably begins slaughtering everyone on Earth, the only person that can stop him is his former arch-nemesis, the super-powered villain Max Damage. Unwillingly thrust into the role of savior, Max must uncover the Plutonian’s mysterious past in order to discover how to bring him down. But can he discover what made the Plutonian go crazy before his own degenerative super powers cause him to lose his mind?”
Irredeemable was created by Mark Waid (Kingdom Come) and illustrated by Peter Krause. Irredeemable ran for 37 issues and sold over 1.5 million copies. Incorruptible follows supervillain Max Damage as he responded to the Plutonian’s evil by gradually transforming himself into a superhero. The sister series ran for 30 issues and sold over 1 million copies.
