Writing newcomer Joby Harold is in negotiations to pen the script for the movie adaptation of the comic book Atlantis Rising for DreamWorks.

In Atlantis Rising, the secret underwater civilization is discovered after seismic readings uncover it. This discovery sets off a war between humans and this new “alien” species that has been living on our planet this whole time.

Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who produced both Transformers and the upcoming Star Trek, are producing here along with Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, who is the creator of Atlantis Rising as well as CEO of Platinum Studios, which produces the comic among many others.
