Universal Pictures has acquired the film rights to Neal Shusterman novel Everlost, reports Variety.
Published by Simon & Schuster, Everlost focuses on Nick and Allie, teenage passengers in cars that collide. They meet in a netherworld known as Everlost, unsure if they're alive. The teens try to navigate an odd world that is populated by young people from different historical periods, with a couple of badies in the mix.
Book's the first of a series, and the hope is to hatch a franchise.
The pic will be developed as a potential directing vehicle for Gary Ross through his Larger Than Life banner. Shusterman will write the script.
