Darren Aronofsky will direct the high-tech thriller "Machine Man" for Mandalay Pictures.
According to Variety, the film is based on Australian author Max Barry's serialized online story and upcoming novel.
The online serial was published last year. Vintage Books releases the novel next spring.
Mark Heyman, who worked with Aronofsky on "Black Swan," will write the screenplay.
Cathy Schulman is producing for Mandalay, which has a first-look deal with Universal. Barry will executive produce.
The story follows a gadget geek and engineer working at a technology firm who decides to replace his weaker body parts with high-end titanium performance upgrades that he designs.
Aronofsky's last film was "The Wrestler."
His new film, "Black Swan," will be released by Fox Searchlight on December 3. He is currently in negotiations to direct 20th Century Fox's "Wolverine" sequel.
