Afterburn — Dave Bautista, Samuel L. Jackson star in dystopian sci-fi flick

Yet another comic book has been adapted into a movie.  Next up is Afterburn, based on a series from Red 5 Comics by Scott Chitwood, Paul Ens and Wayne Nichols.  The title is a reference to the setting: a post-apocalyptic Earth following a solar flare.  It looks heavy on action, a star vehicle for Dave Bautista co-starring Olga Kurylenko, with Samuel L. Jackson and Kristofer Hivyu.  The vibe is very much like the last movie with Bautista in the lead, Army of the Dead, including some thievery.

Check out Bautista & Co. in this trailer for Afterburn:

Afterburn is expected in theaters later this year.
