The great wave of adaptations continues, as it seems Luminosity Entertainment is working with Altit Media Group to adapt the book by J.V. Kade, Bot Wars. Alexander Kiesl and Steffen Hacker have been attached to direct the sci-fi film, which currently doesn’t have any writers attached. The story tells the age-old history of humanity vs. artificial intelligence but does explore how human ingenuity manages to give them the upper hand. Luminosity’s Daniel Diamond had the following to say on the project:
The world and characters brought to life in J.V. Kade’s novels are tremendously original, thrilling and thought provoking.We are very excited to be working with Dean and Kia in bringing Alexander and Steffen’s vision of this incredible story to the big screen
Daniel Diamond
Luminosity was just founded earlier this year by Elie Samaha, Geno Taylor, and Diamond. It’s quite the undertaking as their first film won’t release until next year, which is Back on the Strip featuring Wesley Snipes and Tiffany Haddish. As no writer is currently attached, might still be some time until it sees the light of day but the sci-fi franchise pulls in a very classic
