Rob Liefeld’s ‘Bloodstrike’ Is Coming To The Big Screen

For quite some time now we have been hearing about many of Rob Liefeld projects being adapated for the big screen. Roughly around a year ago word broke that Youngblood would be getting a movie but since then there has been no updates. Well, now Variety is reporting that we will indeed be seeing one of Liefeld’s properties turned into a movie but it’s not the one that we expected. Image Comics Bloodstrike is being brought to the big screen from Adi Shankar’s 1984 Private Defense Contractors, the company behind The Grey, Machine Gun Preacher and that upcoming female version of The Expendables. He will be producing the film alongside Rob Liefeld and Brooklyn Weaver (The Number 23).

Bloodstrike is among the just recently relaunched Image Comic titles to “come back from the dead” after the series final issue in 1995. With the aim of launching a franchise, the site describes the project as focusing on, “a Bloodstrike unit consisting of a team of super-soldiers who have secretly been imbued with vampire blood — making them an elite strike force feared by all enemies.”
