Norman Reedus & Robert Kirkman
As we’ve seen in the world of comics, Robert Kirkman is a busy man. With a number of titles in various stages along with The Walking Dead, he’s also heavily involved in the production of that TV adaptation as well. Now comes word that he’s set to produce a science fiction fan and it’s bringing a familiar face with it. Kirkman’s producing Air, which Sony Pictures is working to acquire from them for distribution. The film is bringing on Norman Reedus and Djimon Hounsou for the leads with a story by Christian Cantamessa of Red Dead Redemption‘s game and Chris Pasetto. Pasetto is also set to direct what’s being listed as a low budget film.
Plot concept: The story is set in an underground cryogenic facility after a nuclear fallout renders the atmosphere unbreathable. Air centers on its two custodial workers (Reedus, Hounsou), who take care of the cryogenically sleeping personnel that are to re-establish society, but they struggle to preserve their own sanity and lives while maintaining the extremely fragile environment of the last livable place on earth.
