Announcement Promo for Netflix's New Sci-Fi Series ALTERED CARBON

Based on the award-winning novel, Altered Carbon takes place in a future where the human mind can now be digitized and downloaded into a "cortical stack" and placed into new bodies, called sleeves. The series follows Envoy soldier Takeshi Kovacs (Joel Kinnaman), who is brought back to life centuries later to investigate the attempted murder of Laurens Bancroft (James Purefoy), the wealthiest man on Earth. As the investigation progresses, Kovacs comes to learn that his past isn’t nearly as buried as he thought. The series debuts exclusively on Netflix February 2nd, 2018.

Think I'll read the book again

I don't like the sound of Kinnamon as Kovacs but I've only ever seen the dude in Suicide Squad so I gotta give him a chance. It looks like he beefed up for this role which is good

Looks like it's got dat strong cyberpunk aesthetic. Looks high production

Ok I'm in. Looks expensive as shit to make. I Like the main character he was in another show I used to watch.

 

[SammyPops]

Fingers crossed they live up to the novel.

Kinnaman is a badass but he's not really how I saw Kovacs either.

TBH the fact we're getting an adaptation at all, let alone a big-budget Netflix one, is enough for me to set aside many reservations up front.

 

[GergreG]

Can't wait for this. I really hope they do the book justice.

 

[Screwtape]

I'm looking forward to this show and hoping it lives up to the book. Based on the character list for the show, it looks like they're deviating a bit, but that might not be a bad thing.

 

[Guestx]

This is coming to Netflix in Feb. The visuals are obviously heavily inspired by Blade Runner.

I'll definitely check it out.

@TheRuthlessOne, heads up.

 

[Zer]

The book is incredible. Probably the GOAT cyberpunk book tbh. I'll finally sign up for Netflix once this drops

 

[MadSquabbles500]

What is premise again?
