Rob Liefeld Announces Bloodstrike Movie, Reveals Teaser Trailer

Renowned comic book icon and co-founder of Image Comics, Rob Liefeld, has recently announced significant progress in his highly anticipated Extreme Universe film and TV projects. Liefeld took to Instagram to unveil a teaser trailer, showcasing proof-of-concept footage from his upcoming Bloodstrike movie. This strategic move coincides with the New York Comic Con press cycle, ensuring maximum exposure for the project. It is worth noting that Liefeld's previous creation, Deadpool, faced numerous obstacles during its development until an animated proof-of-concept was leaked during Comic Con, resulting in a viral sensation and ultimately leading to the production of a successful film.

The teaser trailer features captivating and graphic content, providing a tantalizing glimpse into the vibrant world of the Bloodstrike comics. The adaptation and direction of this project have been entrusted to the highly acclaimed and award-winning stunt coordinator, Phillip J. Silvera, known for his work on Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Marvel's Daredevil. The unexpected release of the Bloodstrike footage has generated immense excitement among fans, who eagerly anticipate the transformation of Liefeld's beloved characters into the realm of cinema.

The teaser trailer and caption from the Instagram are below:

BLOODSTRIKE! - PROOF OF CONCEPT. When taking a comic book from page to screen there are always hurdles, screenplay, screenwriters, talent that attach and move on. It gets old really fast. I have waited to connect with a director with the same zeal for the material, someone who can nurture it to the finish line, be a true partner in the process. I met Phil Silvera on the first Deadpool film. He had just completed his work on Daredevil seasons 1 & 2, the architect of those great hallway battles. He was stunt coordinator as well as second unit director on Deadpool and he expressed his immediate and overwhelming knowledge of all things comic books to me. Phil had been there at the beginning of my own career and expressed his passion for my library of Extreme characters, there was one that stood out above all the rest, Bloodstrike. He told me we were going to make a film together and he meant it. During the pandemic we got serious and he said he had a few jobs he had to complete before he could turn his full attention to Cabbot and the boys at Project Born Again. He promised he would create and direct a proof of concept for Bloodstrike, showing me his exact approach. Here is your first glimpse of Bloodstrike as we work our way towards a cinematic experience. A POC shows the world & its characters for the interested parties looking to jump on board. Watching this amazing footage only reaffirmed that Phil Silvera is the talent to bring this to glorious live action. I promise to take all of you on this journey as we build our Bloodstrike film together. The casting, the studio, the script, I’ll give you the updates as it comes together. I’m so tired of hearing about deals, even my own, I’d rather show you what it’s going to look like. This is just a tease of what lies ahead. I am dedicated now more than ever to bringing my Extreme catalogue to life with talented partners like Phil, and this is just the beginning.
