Liman Charts "Time and Again"

"The Bourne Identity" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" director Doug Liman is to call action and produce a feature film adaptation of author Jack Finney's 1970 illustrated novel "Time and Again" says Variety.

The romantic time-travel tale follows a Manhattan illustrator who enlists in a secret government experiment and is transported from the mid-20th century to the year 1882. He soon falls in love and finds himself forced to choose between his lives in the present and the past.

Finney also wrote the sci-fi classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".
