Tobey Maguire is attached to produce the post-Apocalyptic project together with Neal Moritz and his Original Films company, who previously produced the “Fast and Furious” films.
The project is based on the Red 5 comic written by Paul Ens and Scott Chitwood, founders of Red 5 Comics. “Afterburn” is drawn by Wayne Nichols. The first issue of the comic book hit stands in January. There is no writer attached for the adaptation yet.
The story begins one year after a solar flare has burned half of the planet and centers on a group of treasure hunters who dare to go back to the scorched portion to retrieve valuable artifacts, cultural icons such as the Mona Lisa, the Rosetta Stone and England’s Crown Jewels, explains the Hollywood Reporter.
They also face danger from rival treasure hunters, mutants and pirates.
