This marks yet another Robert Kirkman property being adapted in live-action, although unlike The Walking Dead, Invincible and Outcast, we’ll see Oblivion Song brought to life as a movie rather than on television. When faced with a cataclysmic event that permanently alters our lives, what would we choose to save? Just as Kirkman did with The Walking Dead and Invincible, in Oblivion Song, he’s created the potential for a franchise that is profoundly entertaining, and the perfect opportunity to explore big questions we’re reckoning with globally. We’re thrilled to partner with New Republic and Skybound on Robert Kirkman’s mind-blowingly captivating series. Here’s what Marker had to say about Oblivion Song moving forward (via Deadline): This is the first entry in a first-look deal between New Republic and Nine Stories. Brian Oliver and Bradley Fischer are also producing through New Republic Entertainment, which optioned the film rights to Oblivion Song. While the Oblivion Song movie doesn’t have a director attached yet, Jake Gyllenhaal will produce through his Nine Stories film banner with Riva Marker, while over at Skybound Entertainment, Robert Kirkman will produce alongside David Alpert, Bryan Furst and Sean Furst. The government tried to rescue these people, but eventually gave up, But ever day, a man named Nathan Cole ventures out to try and find those who are still living in this apocalyptic hellscape.
For those unfamiliar the Image Comics series, Oblivion Song takes place in a reality where one decade ago, a portion of Philadelphia, along with 300,000 of its citizens, were lost in an event called Oblivion. Jake Gyllenhaal has signed on to produce and star in Oblivion Song, the film adaptation of the same-named comic book series by The Walking Dead and Invincible creator Robert Kirkman and artist Lorenzo De Felici.
