Adapted from the 2010 graphic novel by Joe Casey and Chris Burnham, “Officer Downe” is a sci-fi film takes place in a hyper-real Los Angeles and tells the story of a savage L.A. policeman who is repeatedly killed, resurrected and sent back into active duty via dark science technology.
When a rookie officer named Gable is recruited as back-up, he discovers there’s much more to the titular super-cop than a mindless law enforcement drone warring against a twisted rouges gallery of over-the-top supervillains.
“Officer Downe” was written by Joe Casey, and produced by Mark Neveldine, Skip Williamson, Cole Payne and Casey. Executive producers were Cory Brennan and Glenn D. Feig.
