Ace filmmaker Adam Wingard, who is basking in the success of his last directorial 'Godzilla vs. Kong', continues to soar with yet another film project in the works. As per Variety, the filmmaker is set to direct Universal's 'Hardcore', an adaptation of the comic book series from 'The Walking Dead' creator Robert Kirkman and Marc Silvestri.

The project is being described as an action/sci-fi thriller following a soldier's journey as he saves the world without getting his hands dirty. The script is based on an original outline from Kirkman, which Wingard will adapt with up-and-coming writer Will Simmons.
