EXCLUSIVE: Science fiction mystery comic book Mindset could be heading to the small screen.

Mindset is a near-future science fiction story of a Silicon Valley startup that accidentally invents a mind control app, and unwittingly opens a Pandora’s Box of mind games and murder that will force them — and the audience — to question whether they are in control of their own actions.
David Fortier, Ivan Schneeberg, and Nick Nantell will executive produce for Boat Rocker, This Radicle Act President Karyn Smith-Forge will oversee the project for Cheadle’s company and will exec produce with the actor. Vault’s Damian Wassel and F.J. DeSanto, and Kaplan will also exec produce with Anna Register overseeing the project for Boat Rocker.
In addition to Orphan Black: Echoes, which premiered earlier this week on AMC, Boat Rocker is behind series such as Beacon 23 for MGM+ and American Rust: Broken Justice for Prime Video.

We’re looking forward to partnering with Vault and Boat Rocker to further bring this vivid, thrilling and compelling story to life.”
