The project hit Hollywood studios on Monday and drew strong
interest from Warner Bros. and DreamWorks. Sources say the Sony deal closed in
the $1 million range.
Epsilon is set after an initial robot rebellion ended in
failure and Earth operates on almost no electronics. The remaining robots seek refuge
on a space station and begin to raise their own human lab rats, which they
train to act as their agents. The main character is a man who discovers he is
more human than he thought.
“Ambitious” is how one source who read the script described
the project.
The duo-hit writer gold with the 2010 hit Zombieland,
released by Sony. Since then, the duo worked on GI Joe: Retaliation at
Paramount and Deadpool at Fox, and they wrote an adaptation of the comic Cowboy
Ninja Viking for Disney, among other pursuits.
