Twilight

After the success of Twilight franchise, Rosenberg started her own production company, Tall Girls, which will be producing Earthseed. Both the screenwriter and producers see franchise potential in the Earthseed saga, so brace yourself for like eight of these things.

Per THR, the gist of Earthseed is:

Earthseed takes place in a future where humans launch a project called Ship to carry Earth DNA into space to find a new planet on which to settle. During its flight, a group of newly grown teenagers born without traditional parents are provided a simulated Earth environment, Hollow, to test their ability to survive. As some of the kids splinter off, tensions grow between the groups and major revelations ensue at fighting erupts.

I wonder who the intergalactic version of Piggy is going to be? Jonah Hill? Jonah Hill.

I expect Rosenberg will make an easy transition to this project, since there’s a lot of overlap between Highlander and Twilight:

1. The main characters ar immortals.
2. There’s romantic longing between mortals and immortals.
3. Tons of shirtless teenage boys.
4. Those teenage boys have glittery abs.
5. Tween girls love movies about sexy vampires and sword-wielding Scotsmen.

The movie will be produced by Peter Davis and directed by Justin Lin (Fast Five). Hopefully Lin won’t allow the complete tweenification of Connor MacLeod, and maybe he’ll wedge an awesome car chase / sword fight or two in there. (Hollywood Reporter)
