Deadline.com says that the film will be written and directed by Neil Burger of Divergent fame. He also had a winter hit, the Kevin Hart comedy The Upside.
The film is about “30 children who are sent on a multi-generational mission to populate a new planet. After the captain of the mission is killed in mysterious circumstances, the young crew descends into chaos, aligning themselves into tribes as they surrender to their most feral impulses,” so says Deadline.
Shooting begins in Romania in June. Apparently, there’s lots of interest from international markets for distribution.
