The Plot: A virus wipes out everyone on earth younger than 12, and older than 21 — leaving only teens and young adults behind to rebuild society (in this case, post-apocalyptic New York City) through regional tribes. The story follows the leaders of the Greenwich Village tribe: uptight Jefferson and sassy Donna.
If anyone can get an adaptation made, it’s filmmaker-turned-novelist Weitz, who already has two big-budget adaptations ("The Golden Compass" and "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," as well as "About a Boy") in his filmography. Weitz will write, direct, and produce the adaptation for Warner Bros.
