Rebel Wilson Will Produce and Star in The Comic Book Film Adaptation of CROWDED

Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect) has picked up the rights to an upcoming comic book from Image Comics called Crowded. The plan is for her to produce and star in the film adaptation.

Crowded comes from writer Christopher Sebela and artist's Ro Stein and Ted Brandt, and the story is set in the near future "where the world’s economy is all job sharing and apps and where a crowdfunding platform that funds assassinations named Reapr is all the rage."

The story is set in motion when a woman named Charlie, leading a quiet normal life, finds her world upside down when she suddenly becomes a target on Reapr, with a multimillion-dollar bounty. Desperate, the woman hires the only person she is able to afford: Vita, the lowest-rated bodyguard on the Dfend app. The two have to work together to take down the aspirational assassins and find out who wants Charlie dead before the campaign’s 30-day period concludes, or their lives are over.

I assume that Wilson will take on the role of Charlie. This is definitely a very different project for the actress, but it sounds like a good one for her. It certainly will tell an interesting story that should make for a solid flick.

The creator of the comic will serve as a consulting producer on the film and they are on the hunt for a writer to adapt the source material. 

What do you think about Rebel Wilson taking on the feature film adaptation of the Crowded comic?
