Apple Original Films acquires ‘Fallen Astronaut’ manuscript

Deadline reports that Apple Original Films has preemptively acquired the manuscript for “Fallen Astronaut” by J.S. Mayank and David Carlyle, which began circulating among publishers just last week.
Anthony D’Alessandro for Deadline:
‎

We hear that Apple paid in the high six figures to take the book off the table… Mayank & Carlyle will be Executive Producers on the film.
We hear that the manuscript has a tech-forward concept including a crucial sequence with VR, which makes it a ripe project for Apple.
Scott Glassgold and his 1201 Films are set to produce the movie for Apple which is billed as Gravity crossed with A Few Good Men.
