Fresh off of winning two Emmy awards for his work on the HBO limited series, Chernobyl, Johan Renck has signed on to direct Spaceman of Bohemia, a film adaptation to the 2017 novel by Jaroslav Kalfař. The pic is set up under Channing Tatum’s Free Association and is being adapted for screen by Colby Day.

The book tells the story Jakub Procházka, who orphaned as a boy and raised in the Czech countryside by his grandparents, overcomes his odds to become the country’s first astronaut. He is tasked with a solo mission to Venus and while venturing into deep space discovers a possibly imaginary giant alien spider, who becomes his unlikely companion. [Source]
