Release: TBC

Despite being rather unceremoniously booted off their Star Wars project when LucasFilm didn't like their vision or method for Solo, Phil Lord and Chris Miller went on to take the lion's share of the plaudits for Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. Somewhat inevitably, their upcoming projects are under lots of excited scrutiny now because of that success.

Next up, they've turned their attention to a book adaptation - actually of something that hasn't even been released yet. Their movie will adapt Lee Bacon's The Last Human and will be called simply Human.

Set 30 years after the extinction of humanity after a robot apocalypse and will follow a robot called XR_935, who finds a human the same age as him (12) who has spent her life hidden in an underground bunker hiding for her life. They unite and set out on a journey to a mysterious point on a map.

The big selling point here is obviously Miller and Lord's charm as film-makers and it's definitely one to look out for.
