Rebel Wilson roped in for comic book adaption

Washington: Australian actress Rebel Wilson is all set to star in the adaptation of Image Comics’ book, ‘Crowded’.

The ‘Pitch Perfect’ star will also develop the project and produce it under her Camp Sugar production banner, confirmed The Hollywood Reporter.

‘Crowded’, written by Christopher Sebela and drawn by Ro Stein and Ted Brandt, is set in a near future where the world’s economy is all job sharing and apps.

The story is set in motion when a woman named Charlie, leading a quiet normal life, finds her world upside down when she suddenly becomes a target on Reaper, with a multimillion-dollar bounty.

Desperate, the woman hires the only person she is able to afford: Vita, the lowest-rated bodyguard on the app. The two have to work together to take down the aspirational assassins and find out who wants Charlie dead before the campaign’s 30-day period concludes, or else their lives are over.

On the work front, Wilson is currently in Prague shooting for ‘Jojo Rabbit’, the Nazi satire which also stars Scarlett Johansson.
