Issac Asimov is heading back to the big screen. Regency Pictures has optioned the screen rights to his 1955 novel, “The End of Eternity” reports Variety.
The novel tells of a future where humanity is controlled by a ruling class called Eternity. Those who are in that class can manipulate time in order to alter history and prevent disasters or “wipe out undesirables.” One of the Eternity members breaks the cardinal rule and falls in love with a woman from another time period.
Regency is looking to find a director for the project first and will then get to work on a screen play.
At one time, director Ridley Scott and actor Tom Cruise were tied to the project. Those two are not currently involved with the production.
