Netflix has bagged the rights of the 22-page short story I Am Not Alone by Chris Hicks, which will have the script written by Misha Green who will also direct the feature starring Jessica Chastain.

Battling five bidders for over 72 hours, the auction finally came between Netflix and Warner Bros.

According to Deadline, the prologue of the short story reads, " began seeing the creatures about a week before Zoe’s visit.” I don’t want to give too much of it away, but the story centers around a mother of a young daughter whose life unravels when she suffers unbearable migraines that cause her to hallucinate as she begins to see creatures. It is the template for a grounded sci-fi story about a mother forced to defend her family against a threat only she can see.”

The film will be produced by Simon Kinberg and Audrey Chon for Genre Films, Bread & Circuses Entertainment’s Craig Flores, Scott Glassgold and Peter Katz, along with Jessica under Freckle Pictures.

“I’m a massive fan of Misha’s work, and been friends with Craig for years, so when I got sent this story and heard they were involved, I absolutely flipped out. Misha’s vision for it is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. And getting to work with Jessica again makes it even dreamer," Simon was quoted as saying by Deadline report.
