Comic Synopsis: Corbin Quinn and Danny Reilly are two buddies who love to have fun. They’re also scientific geniuses. When their research leads them to a time-traveling adventure, will they use their knowledge for the good of all mankind? Or use the space-time continuum for their own ends? Chrononauts is the story of man’s first, televised steps through the time-stream and and everything going wrong in the process.
The film will be produced by comic creators Miller and Murphy as well as five-time Fast & the Furious scribe Chris Morgan.
