Mike Cahill, the director of the sci-fi/fantasy romance Another Earth, has signed on to direct an adaptation of the graphic novel Doctors. Originally written by Dash Shaw, the story is being adapted for the big screen by Ben Jacoby (The First Omen) and will be produced by David Goyer, according to THR.
The site says the story follows, “…a doctor and his team who can go into a dead person’s consciousness in the form of a memory and temporarily bring them back to life. When a woman hires the doctor to bring back her mother, the act poses an unintended question of: what happens when the dead don’t want to return?”
Cahill earned a Saturn nomination for Best Writing for Another Earth.
Doctors is being produced for 20th Century Fox. You can pick up the graphic novel via Amazon.
