In a stunning turn of events, Deadline is reporting that Sony has picked up the rights to Passengers by Jon Spaights. Neal Moritz and Ori Marmur from Original Films will produce along with Michael Maher from Start Media and Stephen Hamel from Company Films.
While Company Films appears to have maintained some control of the project, Deadline is reporting that they are starting from scratch with the elements (rewrite?) since the stars and director Brian Kirk (Game of Thrones) are no longer attached to the project.
The press release is here.
