Cornish Gets "Rust"y

"Attack the Block" helmer Joe Cornish has signed on to direct the graphic novel adaptation "Rust" says Heat Vision.

In a complete change of pace Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada) will write the adapted screenplay.

The graphic novel is a "high-octane adventure set in the prairie lands of an unknown time. Life on the Taylor family farm was difficult enough before Jet Jones crashes into the barn, chased by a giant decommissioned war robot! Oldest son Roman Taylor struggles to keep his family’s small farm afloat as the area heals from a devastating world war. While the rest of his family may not trust the mysterious boy with the jetpack, Roman believes the secrets of Jet’s past may be the key to their survival."

The film will be produced by Stephen Christy and Simon Kinberg.
