Mattson Tomlin (The Batman) will be writing a feature film adaptation of the Boom! Studios comic book series Memetic for Lionsgate, Deadline reports, to be produced by Seth Rogen.
In James Tynion IV and Eryk Donovan’s Memetic, “all hell breaks loose when a mysterious meme goes viral on a college campus, making anyone who sees it turn obsessive and violent.”
“As the meme spreads and grows out of control, a ragtag group of students must risk everything in order to survive the viral outbreak and try to stop it.”
Rogen will produce for Point Grey alongside Evan Goldberg and James Weaver. Boom! Studios’ Ross Richie and Stephen Christy will also be producing the film adaptation.
