Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman is set to make the leap from the small screen to the big one, and he’s bringing one of the show’s biggest stars along with him. Read on!

THR reports that Norman Reedus has signed on to star in the Kirkman-produced sci-fi thriller Air alongside Academy Award nominee Djimon Hounsou.

The story is set in an underground cryogenic facility after a nuclear fallout renders the atmosphere unbreathable. Air centers on its two custodial workers (Reedus, Hounsou), who take care of the cryogenically sleeping personnel that are to re-establish society, but they struggle to preserve their own sanity and lives while maintaining the extremely fragile environment of the last livable place on earth.

Written by Christian Cantamessa and Chris Pasetto, the film will be directed by Pasetto.

Kirkman will be producing via his Skybound Entertainment banner along with David Alpert, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Chris Ferguson. Reedus will executive produce.
