Deadline is reporting 20th Century Fox has acquired the self-published book "CyberStorm" by author Matthew Mather.
According to the report, Chernin Entertainment will produce the project. Cherrin's most recent project was "The Heat," the cop comedy starring Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock, which opened in June.
The official description of the book summarizes it as follows: "Sometimes the worst storms aren't from Mother Nature, and sometimes the worst nightmares aren't the ones in our heads. Mike Mitchell, an average New Yorker already struggling to keep his family together, suddenly finds himself fighting just to keep them alive when an increasingly bizarre string of disasters start appearing on the world's news networks. As the world and cyberworld come crashing down, bending perception and reality, a monster snowstorm cuts New York off from the world, turning it into a wintry tomb where nothing is what it seems..."
Mather is also author of the six-part series "Atopia Chronicles." He is a member world's cybersecurity community who started out his career working at the McGill Center for Intelligent Machines. He went on to found one of the first tactile interface companies, which became the world leader in its field, as well as creating a major award-winning brain training video game.
