Adult Swim has greenlit "Lazarus," a new Toonami series from renowned anime director Shinichirō Watanabe, known for his work helming episodes of "Cowboy Bebop," "Samurai Champloo" and "Kids on the Slope."
Produced by anime studio MAPPA, "Lazarus" also recruits the contributions of "John Wick" series director Chad Stahelski, who designed several action sequences for the series, along with the musical talents of saxophonist Kamasi Washington; producer, DJ and musician Floating Points; and producer, DJ and musician Bonobo. The trio will provide a jazz and electronic score for the project.
"Lazarus," which is already in production, takes place in 2052. The series follows a Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist that develops a drug called Hapuna — a cure-all that has the unexpected side-effect of causing death three years later. A special force of agents is assembled to take on the malevolent Skinner.
I hope the show is good but gat damn I have high expectations for the soundtrack.
