He may be hard at work on X-Men: Apocalypse – which is due out May 2016 – but Bryan Singer has already been tapped up by FOX to direct a new sci-fi movie called Uprising which will tell the story of a moon colony’s rebellion against Earth.
Uprising is based on the classic 1966 sci-fi novel “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress” by American novelist Robert A. Heinlein. Arrow producer Marc Guggenheim will work on the screenplay adaptation and Singer will reportedly take over the project after finishing up on X-Men: Apocalypse.
The original book was nominated for the 1966 Nebula Award and won the Hugo Award for best science fiction novel the following year. Some of Heinlein’s other works have already been adapted for the big screen including Starship Troopers and The Puppet Masters.
