20th Century Fox emerged the winner in a bidding war over the film rights to the sci-fi book Wool by Hugh Howey. Howey self-published Wool on Amazon.com and has already sold 140,000 copies (that number's sure to go up now that a film version is in the works).
According to the official announcement, Ridley and Tony Scott's Scott Free and Film Rites' Steve Zaillian and Garrett Basch are partnering up on the production. And while it would seem a natural fit given their investment in the project, there's no word yet on whether Ridley Scott intends to direct or if Zaillian will write the screenplay.
The official synopsis: "In the spirit of The Hunger Games, Wool is a high-concept novel set in a stark future; the air outside is no longer breathable, so the last community on Earth lives underground in an enormous silo. Survival is everything, and some will do anything to ensure it."
Joel Edgerton, the star of 2012 upcoming releases The Odd Life of Timothy Green and The Great Gatsby, co-wrote and will star in Felony, a thriller set up with The Solution Entertainment Group. Matthew Saville (Noise) is attached to direct, with filming expected to begin in late October.
The official synopsis: "Driving home after a celebration drink with his team after the long waited bust of a major gang, a decorated police officer (Edgerton) runs a young cyclist off the road. As he gives CPR to the child, fellow officers arrive to take his statement. In a split second decision he tells them a lie about the accident which will change all their lives in this edge of your seat thriller."
"Rising star Joel Edgerton is an extraordinarily gifted actor who brings such depth to all of his performances and we can't wait to be able to bring that magic to the big screen," stated Lisa Wilson, co-founder of Solution Entertainment Group. "The heart-pounding story along with the terrific casting will certainly draw attention to this film in Cannes."
