The Old Guard is directed by Gina Prince-Blythewood (Beyond the Lights) from a script written by comic book creator Greg Rucka as he makes his feature screenplay debut.
The Old Guard joins other Netflix originals such as Sam Hargrave’s Extraction and Susanne Bier’s Bird Box, who are currently holding the first and second spots, respectively.
The film adaptation will be led by Oscar winner Charlize Theron.
Marc Evans, Theron and her Denver and Delilah principals Beth Kono and AJ Dlx will also produce.
