Wes Ball (“The Maze Runner”) is set to direct the film adaptation of Claire North’s sci-fi novel “The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August” for Amblin Partners.
The story follows a man who is repeatedly born into the same life, remembers all his past experiences, and seeks to save the world by outmaneuvering a similarly gifted rival who is willing to make any sacrifice to attain a godlike knowledge.
Melissa Iqbal (“Humans”) has adapted the novel while Joe Hartwick Jr, Pete Czernin and Graham Broadbent will produce.
