Release[]
Shatterglass Films published the teaser both on YouTube and on Facebook. The Facebook page "Revival Movie," dedicated to "the official feature-film adaptation" of Revival, included the message:[2]
- "We are excited to announce that Tim Seeley and Mike Norton's critically-acclaimed Image Comics series, REVIVAL, is being developed as a feature-film by Shatterglass Films and directed by Luke Boyce. We announced the film at C2E2 this weekend with an exclusive proof-of-concept teaser that was leaked this morning. So here is the official teaser. Stay tuned to this page for more news on the film!"
According to Revival co-creator Tim Seeley, there had been discussions with larger film production companies and the television network NBC had shown interest in creating a series based on the comics. However, those projects would have cut Seeley and Mike Norton out of the creative process, and Shatterglass agreed to make it collaborative.[3]
After seven years of no update, Syfy announced Revival as a TV series to debut in their channel in 2025.[4]
