Television news today, spylings, with a project we're looking forward to - science fiction
Netflix series
ALTERED CARBON written and produced by
Avatar's
Laeta Kalogridis. Earlier this summer I informed you that
Joel Kinnaman will lead the cast and now he is joined by
James Purefoy and others.
DEATH IS OBSOLETE
The small screen adaptation of
Richard Morgan’s 2002 cyberpunk sci-fi
novel,
ALTERED CARBON is set in the 25th century when the human mind
has been digitized and the soul is transferable from one body to the
next. Takeshi Kovacs (
Joel Kinnaman), a former elite interstellar
warrior known as an Envoy who has been imprisoned for 500 years, is
downloaded into a future he’d tried to stop. If he can solve a single
murder in a world where technology has made
death nearly obsolete, he’ll
get a chance at a new life on Earth.
OTHER STARS IN THE CAST
The cast will also include
Martha Higareda as Kristin Ortega, a smart and tough Lieutenant in the Bay City PD. She and her family are immigrants from the North LaTam Zone (an area that was once Mexico, Belize, Guatamala and El Salvador) and Ortega is following in the footsteps of her father, a cop who died heroically in the line of duty.
James Purefoy is going to portray Laurens Bancroft. One of the super wealthy class known as Methuselahs, Bancroft is rich, influential, and over 500 years old. He is a man of contradictions, ruthlessly powerful
yet unexpectedly moral, his deep passion for all the pleasures of life matched only by his need to exert iron control over everything around him.
