We first reported on THE BREACH in the fall of 2012, when David S. Goyer’s name came up in conjunction with the sci-fi thriller. And though it lay dormant for a while, the project is back up and running.
The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Goyer will direct the adaptation of Patrick Lee’s novel of the same name for Lionsgate. TRANSFORMERS producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura is producing, while Justin Rhodes writes the script.
Here is the book’s synopsis:
#advanceampads0#The book is the first in a planned trilogy (of course, aren’t they all?). The next novel in the trilogy is Ghost Country, followed by Deep Sky. We’ll see if more film adaptations follow.
Goyer is of course the co-writer of Warner Bros.’ BATMAN movies, as well as last summer’s MAN OF STEEL. The last film he directed was 2009’s THE UNBORN, starring Odette Yustman (pictured below).
