Descender sets Jesse Wigutow as writer

Writer Jesse Wigutow will adapt sci-fi comic “Descender” for Sony.

Created by New York Times bestselling author Jeff Lemire and comic artist Dustin Nguyen, the story follows a lifelike boy robot whose machine DNA may hold the key to the origin of the planet-sized bots that wiped out entire worlds. He’s therefore the most wanted robot in a universe that has outlawed androids.

Lemire and Nguyen will exec produce the film with Josh Bratman producing.
