Robopocalypse author Daniel H. Wilson is now in final negotiations to develop his best-selling thriller Amped for Working Title Films.

The project was originally set up at Summit, but the property's rights were lost over the course of the studio's merger with Lionsgate.

Set in the near future, the story of Amped takes place in a world where nano tech-enhanced humans and ordinary humans are at war with one another.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City, I, Robot) is attached to helm the feature.

Meanwhile, Wilson's Robopocalypse is getting the big screen treatment from director Steven Spielberg, with a release date set for Summer 2014.
