‘Final Destination Bloodlines’ Directors to Helm Sci-Fi Survival Film ‘The Earthling’ for Columbia

Columbia Pictures has emerged victorious in a multi-studio bidding war for the rights to The Earthling, a short story by Jonathan Marty. Deadline reports that Columbia paid mid six-figures.

Final Destination Bloodlines helmers Zach Lipovsky & Adam Stein are attached to direct and executive produce the film.

Chronology’s Eric Heisserer (Arrival, Bird Box) and Carmen Lewis (“Shadow and Bone”) will produce alongside 1201 Films’ Scott Glassgold (Prospect, Tarot).

Although plot details are being kept under wraps, it’s said to be a survival sci-fi story with shades of The Martian and Edge of Tomorrow.

Marty has made a name for himself in the television space, having sold a handful of shows including “Splash Damage” to Warner Bros. and “AI” to the CW.
