Oliver Megaton seeking 'Land of the Living'

Director Oliver Megaton has joined "Land of the Living," an abduction thriller based on the best-selling British novel.

The book was published in 2003.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Megaton, whose most recent project is the upcoming "Taken 2," will direct the film, which follows a young ad executive who is abducted off the streets, escapes and then hunts down her would-be killer.

The script is from Scott Gullette and is based on the book by Nicci French, the pen name of writing duo Nicci Gerard and Sean French.

The film will be produced by a slew of companies, including Emjag Productions, Stone Village, Battleplan Productions, Film 360 and Dro Entertainment.

Megaton directed last year's "Colombiana," the revenge thriller starring Zoe Saldana and produced by Luc Besson.
