According to Variety, on Tuesday, New Republic Pictures announced their plan to turn the story into a feature film, as they bought the rights of the novel.

In a statement, Kirkman said that they couldn’t be more excited to find such great partners in New Republic and Nine Stories.

Marker, whose producing credits include Cary Fukunaga’s Beasts of No Nation, comedic drama The Kids Are All Right gave his opinions on the project, calling the story a “mind-blowingly captivating series,” adding “When faced with a cataclysmic event that permanently alters our lives, what would we choose to save? Just as Kirkman did with ‘The Walking Dead’ and ‘Invincible,’ in ‘Oblivion Song,’ he’s created the potential for a franchise that is profoundly entertaining, and the perfect opportunity to explore big questions we’re reckoning with globally.”

Oblivion Song will mark the first project under the first-look deal with New Republic and Nine Stories. Meanwhile, Gyllenhaal will next feature r in Michael Bay’s action thriller Ambulance for Universal, as well as Antoine Fuqua’s The Guilty for Netflix.
