Adapted for live-action by A Private War screenwriter Arash Amel, Old City Blues takes place in the fictional New Athens, a city which rests in the country formerly known as Greece.
Also residing in New Athens are corrupt politicians and powerful corporations.
The city has become overrun by high-tech criminals who traffic in smuggling and drugs.
Kerry Washington is set to star in and executive produce the futuristically timed drama, whose comic source material was set quite a few years into the future; 2048, to be exact.
