Robopocalypse Author to Develop Amped

Robopocalypse author Daniel H. Wilson is now in final negotiations to develop his best-selling thriller Amped for Working Title Films.

The project was originally set up at Summit, but the property's rights were lost over the course of the studio's merger with Lionsgate.

Set in the near future, the story of Amped takes place in a world where nano tech-enhanced humans and ordinary humans are at war with one another.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City, I, Robot) is attached to helm the feature.

Meanwhile, Wilson's Robopocalypse is getting the big screen treatment from director Steven Spielberg, with a release date set for Summer 2014.

Hemsworth May Star in Spielberg's Robopocalypse

Director Steven Spielberg reportedly wants Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth to star in his upcoming sci-fi epic Robopocalypse.

Deadline claims that, "amid much secrecy (including assumed names), Spielberg met and now wants Hemsworth in his next helping effort." The site adds, though, that no official offer has been made yet to Hemsworth, who has had a great summer with two hits under his belt, The Avengers and Snow White and the Huntsman.

Based on Daniel H. Wilson's book, Robopocalypse recently received a rewrite from Drew Goddard, who also directed Hemsworth in The Cabin in the Woods.

Hemsworth next shoots Thor: The Dark World for Marvel Studios and Disney.
