“The Electric Church” By Jeff Somers Headed To The Screen

Sony Pictures has picked up movie rights to a series of sci-fi novels by Jeff Somers, tapping Trevor Sands to adapt the first book, titled “The Electric Church.”

Mosaic’s Jimmy Miller is producing the adaptation, which is working under the moniker the Avery Cates Project, named after the book’s main character.

Somers has written three books, all set in a near future where Earth is run by a federation of nations and governed by a council. Cates is a bodyguard-assassin who, in “Church,” is forced by the governing police force to kill the founder of a church that converts people by transplanting their brains into pliant robotic bodies.

Diana Williams will executive produce. David Householter and Gloria Fan will oversee on behalf of Mosaic.

The scribe recently adapted the science fiction book series “Hyperion” for Warner Bros. and GK Films, to which director Scott Derrickson is attached.
