Ian Fried, John Gatins (Flight, Real Steel), and George Nolfi (The Adjustment Bureau, The Bourne Ultimatum) have written the screenplay based on a story by Fried. Thomas Tull & Jon Jashni (Godzilla, Pacific Rim, Crimson Peak) are producing the Legendary Pictures production. Holkenborg has previously scored Legendary’s 300: Rise of an Empire.
