Summit Entertainment and Mandalay Pictures have acquired the rights to Richard Matheson's "Deathship," a short story and extended episode of "The Twilight Zone" from 1963 penned by Matheson says The Hollywood Reporter.
The project, now called "Countdown," is being rewritten by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas from an original draft by Scott Burn and Stephen Gregg.
The original story follows three astronauts who must come to terms with the possibility that they may have perished when their ship crashed.
Thanks to 'Stewart'.
