Ryan Coogler, the Remarkable Director

Now, he’s got a new project to undertake. Coogler is all set to be the director of ‘A Vicious Circle’. This is not just an ordinary book, it’s a graphic novel loved by many. The novel is the work of Mattson Tomlin who is also the brains behind Netflix’s ‘Power Play’.
Wondering what ‘A Vicious Circle’ is about? Think of the intense action in ‘John Wick’ with the time travel elements of ‘Looper’. That’s how The Hollywood reporter describes it. Lee Bermejo, a famous comic artist, wonderfully illustrated the novel. Now, Coogler has a bundle of marvelous ideas to turn it into a hit movie.
A Tale of Time-Travel Assassins
‘A Vicious Circle’ is not your everyday thriller. It’s about two assassins with a strange condition – whenever they are part of someone’s end, they find themselves time-traveling, either to the past or the present. They could be one second in the future world of Tokyo and the next they could be running from a dinosaur. This mind-bending movie is a joint project between Boom! Studios and Coogler’s own company, Proximity Media.
