According to several reports, the story will be produced by Pure Flix Entertainment, the Christian film studio popular for the “God’s Not Dead” film franchise.

He also have a producer set for the film, Adam Smith of Kaos Entertainment, and is currently looking for a screenwriter.

"I see this as a major Hollywood film with A-list stars," Scott told the Australian Associated Press. "It’s got incredible heart, incredible acts of heroism, and bravery."

According to Scott, the upcoming adaptation doesn't have to be a Christian film, it could be "just an inspirational one."

Even before the announcement was made, people had predicted an adaptation by Hollywood.
