Boom! Studios’ recent action comic BRZRKR falls pretty firmly under pop culture’s tacitly understood “ Dogstar Rule,” i.e., the general acknowledgement that some things are inherently more interesting because Keanu Reeves is the one doing them.

Reeves is starring in the gritty feature project as well as producing. Also producing are Stephen Christy for Boom! Studios, Stephen Hamel of Company Films and Ross Richie. Lin will also produce via his Perfect Storm banner.

Keanu Reeves' BRZRKR film gets its director, and it's the fella who got the cars flying in Fast & Furious. Director Justin Lin is now going to bring Keanu Reeves' extremely violent comic book BRZRKR to the screen.
