It's based off a graphic novel called Skyward. Via Screen Rant.
TEXT:
Rampage director Brad Peyton and Lucifer showrunner Joe Henderson recently announced that they are collaborating on a film adaptation of the Skyward series. Skyward, which debuted in April 2018, is a graphic novel from Henderson and co-creator Lee Garbett.
Coming just three months after the release of Rampage and less than a month after Netflix picked up Lucifer following its cancellation on FOX, the news shines a brighter light on the series. Skyward is a graphic novel published by Image Comics in which the world has suddenly been thrown into a state of reduced gravity. The story takes place twenty years after this event, giving humanity enough time to adjust, and follows a woman named Willa Fowler. Willa is born after “G-Day” and, like everyone else, has adapted to the reality and impact of low gravity. Unlike everyone else, however, she has uncovered a dangerous plan that aims to restore gravity.
According to a report from Variety, Sony Pictures has landed the rights to the film. While Peyton is set to direct and produce the adaptation from Henderson, who will also serve as an executive producer on the project, Jeff Fierson has been brought on to produce after having worked on Rampage alongside Peyton. Henderson confirmed the news – and his excitement – on Twitter, following the statement Peyton gave to Variety painting a broad vision for the film.
