Amother Earth

Producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald have optioned the film rights to noted sci-fi author Richard Matheson's novel "Earthbound" says The Hollywood Reporter.

Not to be confused with director Nicole Kassell's upcoming romancer Earthbound...Matheson's story follows a married man having an affair with a young woman who turns out to be a ghost driven by motives more sinister than romantic.

Ronnie Christensen ("Passengers," "Locked In") will adapt the screenplay.

Keri Selig will co-produce the adapted pic
