"The Themis Files" Becomes A Movie

Deadline reports that David Koepp will write the adapted script bringing author Sylvain Neuvel's debut novel "The Themis Files" to the big screen.

The sci-fi story centers around a young, 11-year old girl named Rose Franklin, who happens across an ancient alien artifact buried beneath the ground in South Dakota. When word begins to spread life wildfire of its existence, the Us government makes an unprecedented move to launch a global investigation into the extra-terrestrial object, and what it could mean for life on earth. Is it a weapon of mass destruction, or something else entirely?

 Matt Tolmach and Josh Bratman will produce the film.
