The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that DreamWorks has picked up the movie rights to the late Michael Crichton’s (Jurasssic Park) techno-thriller novel Micro, which was published posthumously in 2011.
“We are so pleased to have this opportunity to develop Micro,” said DreamWorks’ Steven Spielberg. “For Michael, size did matter whether it was for Jurassic’s huge dinosaurs or Micro’s infinitely tiny humans.”
Micro follows “a group of graduate students lured to Hawaii to work for a mysterious biotech company — only to find themselves miniaturized and cast out into the rain forest, with nothing but their scientific expertise and wits to protect them.”
Micro is set to be produced by Frank Marshall (Jurassic World) and becomes DreamWorks’ second planned Crichton adaptation, with the studio also working on a feature based upon the 2009 novel Pirates Latitudes.
