‘Metro 2033’ to get movie adaptation

LOS ANGELES, Mar 17: Author Dmitry Glukhovsky novel “Metro 2033,” is set to get a movie adaptation.
Michael De Luca and Stephen L’Heureux have teamed up with the author to bring alive his best­selling novel, that has spawned an 80 book franchise and two cult video games, on big screen, reported Variety.
“My novel and I have been waiting for this to happen for the last 10 years. I have previously been extremely careful about handing my ‘baby’ over to Hollywood producers for adaption for a feature film, but now I feel that it has landed in the right hands.
“De Luca and LHeureux have a great vision for this project, and I feel it’s an honor to work with them,” said Glukhovsky.
“Metro 2033” is a story of a young man named Artyom who survived World War III by hiding in Moscow’s subway system, the world’s largest existing nuclear fallout shelter. In the tunnels he and others build a new civilization and culture, mimicking the old world now gone. (PTI)
