20th Century Fox Adapting "Wool"

Wool
"Guardians of the Galaxy" scribe Nicole Perlman has been hired to pen a rewrite of the sci-fi movie "Wool" for 20th Century Fox and producers Ridley Scott, Steve Zaillian and Garrett Basch.
Based on the high-concept novel by Hugh Howey, the story is set on an Earth where the air is no longer breathable and the world’s last community lives underground in a giant silo. J Blakeson ("The 5th Wave") penned the original script. [Source: The Wrap]

 

Good for Perlman.

 

BTW, Wool is just like 'The Martian'. It was self-published and word of mouth made made it into a hit.
