Wilson aims to develop the project as well as producing alongside Oni Entertainment with the creator Christopher Sebela also acting as a producer. It could also serve as an acting vehicle for the star. Currently, the hunt is now on to find a writer to adapt the story for the big screen
Originally written by Christopher Sebela and drawn by Ro Stein and Ted Brandt. Crowded tells the story of a woman named Charlie, leading a quiet normal life, she finds her world turned upside down when she suddenly becomes a target on Reapr, with a multimillion-dollar bounty. Desperate, the woman hires the only person she is able to afford: Vita, the lowest-rated bodyguard on the Dfend app. The two have to work together to take down the aspirational assassins and find out who wants Charlie dead before the campaign’s 30-day period concludes, or their lives are over.
