With comic book-driven properties ten-a-penny these days, now comes word on a big-screen take on Image Comics’ Crowded.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, Rebel Wilson has picked up the rights to the upcoming Christopher Sebela-written, Ted Brandt and Ro Stein-drawn comic through her Camp Sugar production banner. Wilson will star in and produce the movie, while Sebela is on board in a consultancy capacity.

The first issue of Crowded is due to be released this August, with the official blurb on said debut reading:

Ten minutes in the future, the world runs on an economy of job shares and apps, including Reapr: a crowdfunding platform to fund assassinations. Charlie Ellison leads a quiet, normal life until she’s suddenly targeted by a million-dollar Reapr campaign. Hunted by all of Los Angeles, Charlie hires Vita, the lowest-rated bodyguard on the Dfend app. As the campaign picks up speed, they’ll have to figure out who wants Charlie dead before the campaign’s 30 days—or their lives—are over.

Expect more on Crowded as we get it.
