Seth Rogen to Produce Adaptation of EIGHT BILLION GENIES for Amazon MGM Studios

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have reportedly signed on to produce a film adaptation of Eight Billion Genies for Amazon MGM Studios. The news comes from The InSneider, which also says that Rodney Rothman, who co-wrote and co-directed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, will write the script for Eight Billion Genies.

Charles Soule and Ryan Browne are the creators of Eight Billion Genies, which is an eight-issue limited series that published by Image Comics in 2022, and this sounds like a wild and fun story!

The story summary for the first issue reads: “If you had one wish…what would you wish for? Now, what if everyone else had one wish too? That’s Eight Billion Genies. At exactly the same moment, everyone on earth gets a genie and one wish. All hell breaks loose, in a very entertaining way…and that’s just the beginning. Buckle in for the wildest ride of the year!”

That will make for a really interesting movie! Amazon purchased the rights to adapt Eight Billion Genies in 2022, and the deal was said to be “significant for the streamer as it involves not only feature films but series and more. The lofty mission for the property is for it to be the basis of an expansive cross-media universe, starting with a feature.”

Producers on the film also include James Weaver, Stephen Feder, Kiri Hart, Soule, and Browne.
