The Netflix strategy of adding numerous projects to its library before additional rivals arrive on the scene continues today with the trailer for its next big addition, titled Polar.
Polar has quite the lineup of talent tied to it. The cast includes Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal, Casino Royale), Vanessa Hudgens (Spring Breakers, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island), Katheryn Winnick (Vikings, The Dark Tower), Matt Lucas (Alice In Wonderland, Little Britain), Robert Maillet (Sherlock Holmes, 300), Johnny Knoxville (Jackass, Bad Grandpa) and the legendary Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind). The film is directed by Sweden’s own Jonas Akerlund and written by Jayson Rothwell. The film is an adaptation of the 2012 webcomic-turned-Dark Horse graphic novel Polar: Came From The Cold, written and illustrated by Victor Santos.

The synopsis of the graphic novel details its blunt and violent nature:
Ripped out of retirement by an assassination attempt, the world’s most deadly spy – the former agent known as Black Kaiser – is a wanted man that’s wanted… dead! On a collision course with his former employer, the Damocles Agency, Black Kaiser goes head-to-head with a stab-happy, psychotic torture expert and a seductive-but-deadly redhead. His mission only ends if he dies or kills everyone out to get him… and he’s not in the habit of dying.
The entire graphic novel series is available at your local comic book store as well as on Amazon. The film premieres January 25th on Netflix.
