We previously reported on the production of Rosa here: Jesus Orellana’s Short Film ROSA becoming Live-Action Fox Film.
On the current production of Rosa:
Fox-based Simon Kinberg and his Genre Films banner will produce with Scott Glassgold and Raymond Brothers of IAM Entertainment, which also reps Orellan along with Verve.
Rosa‘s plot synopsis: in “the near future, humanity has disappeared, leaving behind a large megalopolis devoid of natural life. From the destruction awakes ROSA, a robot part of the KERNEL project, mankind’s last attempt to restore the earth’s ecosystem using recovered samples of long-extinct plant species. Wandering among the ruins of the lifeless city, Rosa will soon discover that she is not the only part of Kernel that has awakened.”
