Colby Day has been set to pen an adaptation of Adrian Tchaikovsky’s sci-fi epic novel “Children of Time” for Lionsgate.

The story is set on a planet inhabited by evolved spiders uplifted by human scientists, and their later discovery by the last humans alive in the universe.

The work contrasts the societal development of the spiders and the barbaric descent of the starship crew of last humans.

Day most recently worked on the Blacklist-making grounded sci-fi drama “In the Blink of an Eye”.
