Richard Morgan’s 2002 novel, Altered Carbon, has something of a readership. This, coupled with actor Joel Kinnaman’s own fanbase has otherwise bolstered something potentially awesome for Laeta Kalogridis’s own upcoming serial treatment of the novel as we await its debut premiere on February 2.
For this, we now have a brand new trailer immersing viewers even further into the dual-sided world of a highly-skilled ex-Envoy Corps soldier reawakend to a new body and harrowing adventures. That role has since been handed to actors Joel Kinnaman (Robocop, Suicide Squad) with Will Yun-Lee (Elektra, Spy)portraying the preceding end of our protagonist’s tale when the show arrives.
In the distant future, human consciousness can be digitized 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 recognize.
Check out the trailer below and be excited! February 2 will be a great day for television in my opinion!
