    "I see you brought the fire..." This project
    has been a dream of mine since I was a
    teenager. I'm so excited to be collaborating
    with my brother James, and my partner in
    crime @IntrepidPix on this epic horror movie
    - in space - for @UniversalPics.

    Mike Flanagan will follow up Doctor Sleep and his current
    Christopher Pike series The Midnight Club with directing
    duties on the feature The Season of Passage. He will also
    pen the script along with James Flanagan. They will
    produce along with Intrepid Pitcures producing partner
    Trevor Macy. Christopher Pike, the writer of the science
    fiction horror novel set on Mars, will executive produce
    along with Melissa Nishioka. Additionally overseeing for
    the studio are  Universal's SVP of Production Ryan Jones
    and Director of Development Christine Sun.

    Plot synopsis of The Season of Passage: "Dr. Lauren Wagner
    was a celebrity. She was involved with the most exciting
    adventure mankind had ever undertaken: a manned expedition
    to Mars. The whole world admired and respected her. But
    Lauren knew fear. Inside―voices entreating her to love
    them. Outside―the mystery of the missing group that had
    gone before her. The dead group. But were they simply
    dead? Or something else? A haunting and unforgettable
    blend of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and suspense
    from one of America's bestselling writers. A novel you
    won't soon forget."
