David S. Goyer (Man of Steel, Batman vs. Superman) is set to take a break from his DC duties for Warner Bros. to direct The Breach, an adaptation of Patrick Lee’s 2009 sci-fi novel, which is being produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Transformers: Age of Extinction) for Lionsgate.
According to THR, The Breach centres on “a corrupt ex-cop who is trying to get his life back in order when he discovers a crashed plane in the Alaskan wilderness. The first lady is among those dead in the wreckage. That sets off an adventure featuring a beautiful survivor, assassins, a secret organization, alien technology and an end-of-the-world scenario.”
As well as working on The Breach Goyer has another DC project in the works, as he is currently writing the script for NBC’s Constantine TV pilot, while he’s also set to produce an adaptation of Vertigo’s Sandman alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises, Don Jon).
