Altered Carbon TV series (2nd trailer).
Here’s the trailer for the upcoming Netflix TV series based on the Altered Carbon novel. Looking very cyberpunkie, in our humble opinion. The original book was published well past the original cyberpunk craze, but I guess the whole dark detective noir set in the dark future did rather naturally lead the Netflix team down that avenue.
Here’s the official plot summary below. But then, if you’d read the excellent book, you’d already know this.
In the distant future, human consciousness can be digitised and downloaded into different bodies. Brought back to life after 250 years by Laurens Bancroft (James Purefoy) the richest man on Earth, ex-Envoy soldier Takeshi Kovacs (Joel Kinnaman / Will Yun Lee) must solve Bancroft’s attempted murder for the chance to live again in a world he doesn’t recognise.
This beauty will be hitting Netflix on the 2nd February 2018.
