Not content with having conquered comics and TV with the global smash ‘The Walking Dead’, writer Robert Kirkman is now turning his talent to movies.

‘Air’ is a sci-fi story which follows two staff members in a post-apoclypse cryogenics facility who are tasked with taking care of the sleeping humans who will ultimately re-start the earth’s population. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film will focus on their ‘struggle to preserve their own sanity and lives while maintaining the extremely fragile environment of the last livable place on earth.’

Sounds fun right? But it gets better. Norman Reedus and Djimon hounsou are signed on to star as the film’s main characters. Reedus is a popular figure at the moment since he took on the role of Daryl in ‘The Walking Dead’, and Djimon Hounsou is a two time oscar-nominee whose profile will almost certainly be raised further when he stars as Korath in Marvel’s surefire hit ‘Guardians of The Galaxy’, due out in August.

As always, updates as we get ’em, folks, but in the meantime, let us know if you’re looking forward to this movie?
