Robert Zemeckis will direct the underwater adventure thriller "Dark Life." for Disney through his own ImageMovers film company says Variety.
Based on the upcoming book due in May by Kat Falls, the story is set in a post-apocalyptic future where the oceans have risen and human civilization packs the few regions of dry land left. As a result, the deep-sea environment has become like a Wild West with underwater pioneers carving out a life for themselves.
The story follows a young underwater farmer who joins with a girl from top side who is trying to find her missing prospector brother. Together they try and stop outlaws attacking Government supply ships and settlements.
Zemeckis, Jack Rapke, Steve Starkey, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Lee Stollman
It's unclear whether the film will be live-action or performance-capture technique of Zemeckis' recent work--ala The Polar Express, Beowulf and A Christmas Carol
Disney announced plans last monthto close down ImageMovers Digital by January of next year in order to save costs.
