Blake Lively is set to both star in and produce Netflix's adaptation of Dark Horse Comic's Lady Killer, with Diablo Cody set to write the featur🐻e film adaptation. This adaptation continues Netflix's successful relationship with Dark Horse Comics - The Umbrella Academy was hugely popular on the streaming site and is also an adaptation of a Dark Horse Comics work.
Lady Killer follows Housewife by day and assassin by night Josie Schuller. Her family is blissfully unaware of her doubleꦦ life. Blake Lively is the perfect choice for this role, having played many characters with dark pasts - both in noir-inspired A Simple Favour, and recently in the action film The Rhythm Section. She brilliantly breathes glamour and intrigue into her characters, a perfect combination for a 1950's housewife/assassin.
The original Lady Killer comic ran for two volumes from 2015-2016 and was written and illustrated by Joëlle Jones - it was nominated for the Ei𝓀sner Award for best-limited series in 2016. Jones has since gone on to write and illustrate for DC Comics, most recently working on the new Catwoman comic series.ꦗ Juno writer Diablo Cody will bring the necessary gore and action to this adaptation, having written the dark and funny horror film Jennifer's Body, as well as working on the gory reboot, Evil Dead. She's proven herself able to balance gore, humour, and horror so she should be able to adapt the style of the comic to the screen perfectly.
