According to The Hollywood Reporter (via iO9), two independent producers recently signed on to adapt the popular science-fiction short Rise into a feature film.
While losing Anton Yelchin was a sad day for any number of reasons, here’s one more: a year after Yelchin worked with filmmaker David Karlak to produce the independent science-fiction short Rise, the film will be adapted into a feature series.
Loaded with images and ideas lifted from a dozen different science-fiction movies, Rise certainly benefits from its political subtext.
Brian and I are extremely excited to have an opportunity to build a film franchise based on David Karlak’s wildly popular short.
