Michael Bay To Helm Time Salvager Adaptation
Director Michael Bay has signed on to adapt the novel Time Salvager by Wesley Chu for Paramount. The novel has not yet been released, schedule to hit shelves on July 7th.
The story follows a convicted criminal named James Griffin-Mars, who is identified as one of a select group ideally suited for time-travel missions that could delay humanity's demise. He's sent to Earth's past to recover resources and treasure without altering the timeline. On a final mission that will secure his retirement, James meets Elise Kim, an intriguing scientist from a previous century, who's fated to die during the destruction of an ocean rig. James brings Elise back to the future with him, saving her life, but turning them both into fugitives.
Chu commented on how quickly this all happened and the enthusiasm Bay showed for the film in a comment on his blog, but that comment has now been removed.
