Warner Bros. Developing Film about NASA's SPACESUIT Design

Warner Bros. is developing a film called Spacesuit, which is based on the true story of the development of the first spacesuit that was created and used by NASA. They've hired Richard Cordiner to adapt the screenplay from the book by Nicholas de Monchaux. Here is some information on the book and the writer thanks to Deadline:

This tells the true story of the unsung heroes of the Apollo space program — a team of bra and girdle designers from Playtex who successfully built the iconic spacesuit that enabled Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to walk on the moon.

Until next time…
