‘Altered Carbon’ Trailer: Netflix’s cyberpunk adaptation drops February 2, 2018

Altered Carbon is one of my favorite books of all time, and I’ve been equal parts terrified and excited about Netflix’s forthcoming adaptation. However, I’m completely fucking stoked after watching this trailer.

After a week of hints and teasers, Netflix has lifted the lid on its lavish adaptation of Richard K. Morgan’s seminal cyberpunk thriller Altered Carbon, and so far it’s looking worthy of its oft-rumored title as one of the most expensive shows the streaming service has ever made.

Set 500 years in the future, the 10-part series takes place in a world where human consciousnesses can be stored digitally—allowing the wealthy to live forever as they re-download themselves into new bodies. The story follows a revolutionary-turned-P.I. named Kovacs, played by both Will Yun Lee (The Wolverine) and Joel Kinnaman (Suicide Squad), who finds himself uploaded into the “stacks” and downloaded into a new body against his will centuries later to solve the murder of the former body of a billionaire.
