Altered Carbon Season 1: New Teaser Says "No Body Lives Forever"
Netflix has released a new teaser for their upcoming adaptation of the Richard K. Morgan novel Altered Carbon. The first trailer focused on the world, where humans has a cortical stack recording all of their thoughts, experiences, and essence of who they are so it can be transferred to a new body upon death. This teaser focuses on one particular man, Laurens Bancroft (James Purefoy), the wealthiest man on Earth. He has died, and has now hired someone to find out why. To investigate the death, he brings back an ex-Envoy soldier named Takeshi Kovacs (Joel Kinnaman/Will Yun Lee), whom he offers as payment the chance to live again.
From the novels, we know that Bancroft is rich enough to do backups of his stack ever 48-hours. And where he says in the trailer that he wants Takeshi to solve his murder, (even the Netflix synopsis refers to it as a murder), he takes his own life. The mystery being: what could've happened in the 48 hours or less from the last back up to make Bancroft kill himself? That's a pretty unique and awesome idea for a murder mystery.
Altered Carbon is a 10-episode series that will debut on Netflix February 2nd, 2018.
