Image Comics has announced that Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect) has snapped up the film rights to Crowded, the forthoming comic book series by Christopher Sebela (Harley Quinn), Ro Stein and Ted Brandt (Captain Marvel), Triona Farrell (Runaways), and Cardinal Rae (Bingo Love) with a view to producing and starring in a big screen adaptation.

Crowded “explores the seedy implications of today’s technology with the gut-wrenching resonance of a Black Mirror episode”. The official solicitation for the series reads:

In CROWDED, the world runs on an economy of job shares and apps, including Reapr: a crowdfunding platform to fund assassinations. Charlie Ellison leads a quiet, normal life until she’s suddenly targeted by a million-dollar Reapr campaign. Hunted by all of Los Angeles, Charlie hires Vita, the lowest-rated bodyguard on the Dfend app. As the campaign picks up speed, they’ll have to figure out who wants Charlie dead before the campaign’s 30 days—or their lives—are over.

Wilson is set to develop and produce the movie adaptation of Crowded through her Camp Sugar production banner. The first issue of the comic book series meanwhile will go on sale on August 15th 2018.
