Len Wiseman has signed to develop and direct a film adaptation of the graphic novel "Shrapnel" for Radical Pictures.
The graphic novel, which Radical Publishing teased at last year's Comic-Con, describes a sci-fi future where humans have colonized the solar system and formed a Solar Alliance to govern the planets. The story focuses on Venus, the last rebellious holdout, and a self-exiled former Marine who teaches the colonists how to fight back.
Nick Sagan and Zombie Studios chief Mark Long created the property. Radical principal Barry Levine will produce with Wiseman and Mark Gordon.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Josh McLaughlin of the Gordon Company brought the project in and will oversee "Shrapnel" for the company. Long and Radical's Jesse Berger will executive produce.
Being developed as a live-action film, a 3D approach is considered possible. A video game is planned with Zombie Studios.
