Francis Lawrence and New Republic Pictures are teaming up to adapt Philip K. Dick's 1960 novel Vulcan's Hammer, with Lawrence (Hunger Games and Legend movies, Constantine) directing and producing the film. The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the title "was picked up from the Dick estate under About:blank's first-look deal with New Republic, which recently wrapped shooting the latest Michael Bay action movie, Ambulance."
Brian Oliver and Bradley Fischer of New Republic will produce alongside Lawrence and Cameron MacConomy of About:blank. Also producing is Isa Dick Hackett from Electric Shepherd.
