Artemis

Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Captain Marvel, Tomb Raider) is set to adapt Andy Weir’s Artemis for a feature film. THR reports that Robertson-Dworet is adding the film to her busy schedule, which also includes Dungeons & Dragons, Visionaries, and Silver & Black. Phil Lord and Chris Miller will direct the film.

The book is described as follows:

“Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you’re not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you’ve got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of her problems, as she learns that she’s stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself—and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first.”
