Bloodshot director David S.F. Wilson has lined up his next project with Sony Pictures, an adaptation of the Daniel Suarez sci-fi thriller novel Influx, reports Deadline.
“The book tells a big scale sci-fi tale in a futuristic setting, focused on a protagonist who is a particle physicist perfecting a world-changing invention when his lab is infiltrated by terrorists. He’s held by a clandestine U.S. government department and when he refuses an offer to work with them, prison and torture at the hands of an artificial intelligence inquisitor awaits. He must escape and thwart what the government is doing.”
Zak Olkewicz is adapting the book, which won the Prometheus Award. Escape Artists’ Todd Black, Steve Tisch, Jason Blumenthal and Tony Shaw will produce.
Wilson is coming off the Vin Diesel sci-tale Bloodshot, which Sony released just as theaters were beginning to shut down and which is doing brisk business in VOD, notes the site.
