Quartermain Future

Literary hero Allan Quatermain is being reborn on the big screen with Sam Worthington attached to star in and produce “Quatermain,” with a sci-fi backdrop says Heat Vision.

Henry Rider Haggard wrote the famous 1885 novel "King Solomon's Mines" about British big game hunter Quatermain who spends most of his life in Africa and leads an expedition into an unexplored region to find a friend's missing brother along with the fabled treasure of the lost mines. Quatermain appeared in several other works.

The film is set in a future where humanity has abandoned Earth and Quatermain returns for an adventure on a planetary scale.

Mark Verheiden (Timecop, The Mask) wrote the early draft.

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar will also produce, though no production date or director is yet set.
