First Trailer For Netflix's Altered Carbon Series Wears Blade Runner Inspirations On Its Sleeve

The first trailer for the Netflix-funded adaptation of Richard Morgan's 2002 Sci-Fi novel Altered Carbon brings a colorful darkness to the screen.

In the future, technology allows for people to upload their consciousness and download it into new bodies, similar to Ghost in the Shell. This setup allows for a gritty noir detective story of solving the murder of the world's wealthiest man.

You can check out the trailer below. Altered Carbon is scheduled to show up on Netflix February 2, starring James Purefoy, Joel Kinnaman, and Will Yun Lee.
