Stalag-X | Francis Lawrence

[Cremildo]

Francis Lawrence is set to direct the feature take of Kevin J. Anderson and Steven L. Sears’ Stalag-X following New Republic Pictures winning the graphic novel’s rights.

New Republic Founder Brian Oliver and President Bradley Fischer are producing alongside about:blank’s Lawrence and Cameron MacConomy. Joy Wilkinson will adapt the IP.

Stalag-X tells the story of a reclusive human soldier imprisoned in an alien POW camp on a harsh distant planet in the midst of a decade-long interstellar conflict. Believing that his mind holds the key to turning the tide in the war, the alien Krael force him to endure mind-bending experiments that rip into the deepest recesses of his traumatic memories, which they hope will yield an answer to the question: what is human? source
