To get an idea just how we’ve been waiting for No Time to Die, Cary Fukunaga wrapped shooting on the James Bond film back in late 2019. Since then, it’s been one COVID-related delay after another, with the film finally due to hit theaters this October. But with that kind of wait, Fukunaga has had plenty of time to mull over what he’ll do next on the big screen. Today we’ve learned what that’ll be; an adaptation of the cyberpunk comic book series Tokyo Ghost.
THR reports Fukunaga will direct a film adaptation of Rick Remender’s popular Image Comics series Tokyo Ghost for Legendary. The story is set in 2089 when humanity has become fully addicted to technology as an escape from reality. The story follows peacekeepers Debbie Decay and Led Dent, who are working in the Isles of Los Angeles and are given a job that will take them to the last tech-free country on Earth: the garden nation of Tokyo.
Remender, whose comic Fear Agent is also being adapted into a series by Seth Rogen, will write the Tokyo Ghost script.
Next up for Fukunaga is directing the first three episodes of Apple series Masters of the Air, Tom Hanks’ followup series to Band of Brothers and The Pacific.
