The planned live-action adaptation of Joe Casey and Chris Burnham’s Officer Downe has secured financing, with Life Out Loud Films set to fund the project, which is being directed by M. Shawn Crahan, drummer and co-founder of Slipknot.
“Very excited to dive back into badass muscular cinema akin to what we did in Crank,” said Mark Neveldine and Skip Williamson, who will produce the film from a script by Casey. “With Shawn steering the ship and the subversive insanity of the world Joe created, we’ll have something unforgettable.”
Officer Downe tells the story of a police officer who is killed in the line of duty and finds himself resurrected time and again as he becomes the secret weapon of the Los Angeles Police Department.
