'John Wick' Director To Adapt Image's 'Kill Or Be Killed' To Big Screen

Quote

It looks like John Wick's Chad Stahelski will be lending his talents to another action-filled property.

 

The director is set to helm a live-action adaptation of Image's Kill or Be Killed, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The --script will be written by Dan Casey, who previously adapted Brubaker's Incognito.

 

The comic, which is courtesy of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, takes its moniker to a whole new level. The comic follows Dylan, a depressed college student who attempts suicide. After he survives the attempt, he is soon visited by a demon, who puts a slightly twisted spin on Dylan's new mortality - he will be allowed to live one month for every person he kills.

 

Stahelski directed both John Wick installments (technically co-directing the first one with Deadpool 2's David Leitch). He is set to helm the upcoming third installment as well. Outside of that, Stahelski is a prolific assistant director and stunt coordinator, working on Captain America: Civil War, The Wolverine, and The Hunger Games.

 

John Wick producer Basil Iwanyk will also be involved with the film. Iwanyk has quite a touch on the film world, also producing Sicario, The Town, and Wind River.
