Brad Peyton jumps aboard Skyward adaptation

Director Brad Peyton is set to adapt graphic novel Skyward for the big screen.
The comic’s co-creator, Joe Henderson, will pen the script for the project, which is set in a world of low-gravity and centres on a young woman who discovers a dangerous plan to bring everyone and everything crashing back down to Earth.
Henderson, the showrunner for TV drama series Lucifer, will also executive produce Skyward alongside the Rampage filmmaker and his ASAP Entertainment partner, Jeff Fierson.
“Jeff and I are focused on making event films – regardless of budget or scope,” Peyton shared in a statement to Variety. “Skyward is a big one. We’re very excited to deliver on what an anti-gravity movie should deliver on and be working with Joe Henderson on this.”
Peyton is no stranger to adapting pop culture storylines for Hollywood – his recent Dwayne Johnson blockbuster Rampage was based on the 1980s Midway Arcade Game, which featured a gorilla, a lizard and a wolf wreaking havoc across North America.
