John Krasinski Plans Sci-Fi Film Life on Mars With Quiet Place Team

A week after John Krasinski took the box office by storm with the release of A Quiet Place, news of a new project has been announced. Krasinski and the producers of A Quiet Place, Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller are reteaming for the upcoming film, Life on Mars.

Paramount Pictures who distributed the horror movie, is in negotiations to pick up the upcoming project. While there is no writer on board and Krasinski is set to direct and be a producer on the project, alongside Allyson Seeger, an executive at his Sunday Night Productions banner.

The project will adapt a short story by Cecil Castellucci titled We Have Always Lived on Mars that focus around a woman who is among a handful of descendants of a Martian colony long-abandoned by Earth following a cataclysm.

No word on when the film will be released.
