Independence Day director is going to space for Dark Matter

Roland Emmerich is in early talks with Sony to helm an adaptation of Blake Crouch’s bestseller “Dark Matter”, Deadline reports.

Matt Tolmach is producing the film which has been in the works at Sony since 2014.

Jason Dessen, a quantum physicist, once had a brilliant research career ahead of him. But after a girlfriend’s unexpected pregnancy and the birth of a son, this future was derailed. Now a professor at a small Chicago college with a warm and loving family life, the physicist is abducted into a world in which his quantum many-worlds theory has become a fully realized technology for inter-dimensional transfer. In the parallel world, he did not marry his girlfriend and they never had a son. He is determined to get back to his other life, but nefarious powers in the alternate reality conspire to stop him from revealing the criminal lengths they have gone to create the world-hopping technology.
