MGM Eyes Metro 2033 Film

MGM has purchased the screen rights to Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky's popular 2005 sci-fi novel "Metro 2033" says Heat Vision.


Set in 2033 after a nuclear holocaust devastates Moscow and survivors head under ground, the story follows a young survivor who is forced to go on a journey that will see him deal with mutants, soldiers of a Fourth Reich and political factions of various metro stations in order to reach above ground.

F. Scott Frazier will adapt the script.

Mark Johnson ("Galaxy Quest")  Eugene Efuni and Marina Hall will produce.

Western audiences will likely be more familiar with the property through the video game, adaptation from 2010.  The game sequel Metro: Last Light is scheduled to hit next year
