The Time Runner, Paramount, Wes Ball

Paramount has gotten their arms on The Time Runner, a novella written by Michael Sherman. With the e book secured, the studio desires Wes Ball to develop and direct an adaptation. Steve Desmond and Sherman will pen the script, with Ball and his Oddball Leisure accomplice Joe Hartwick Jr. producing. The plot for The Time Runner is being saved beneath wraps right now, although we do know that Paramount senior vp Alex Jackson will oversee the challenge.

So far as writers go, Desmond and Sherman are a sizzling ticket proper now, with a number of scripts being voted onto the Black Record for the previous three years. They lately wrote an adaptation of the Craig Davidson novel The Saturday Evening Ghost Membership and have bought quite a few scripts to Warner Bros. It is also value noting that Ball is accountable for directing the following Planet of the Apes reboot for twentieth Century Studios. Ball’s different directing gigs embrace helming all three movies within the Maze Runner trilogy, along with a number of brief movies early in his profession.

We’ll undoubtedly hear extra about The Time Runner because the challenge continues to come back collectively. Till then, I can solely guess that Ball will lend his aptitude for splashy sci-fi to this time-hopping idea.
