| Joe Cornish takes on Rust |
Cornish made his feature directorial debut with last year’s
excellent sci-fi pic Attack the Block, and now it looks like one of his future
projects will be a feature iteration of the Lepp’s E.T.-style story.
The project has been in development for a while, as Fox set
The Devil Wears Prada scribe Aline Brosh McKenna to pen the screenplay last
July.
The story centers on a boy with a jetpack named Jet Jones
who crashes into a family farm in the American heartland after being chased by
a decommissioned war robot. The eldest son of the family that owns the farm not
only has to work to keep the farm alive during the war, but now must deal with
the mysterious jetpack boy whose past secrets may or may not be the key to the
family’s survival.
