The trade also says the project is produced on a $24 million budget, with production set to start this summer in Australia.

This is obviously not Niccol's first visit to the sci-fi genre. He kicked off his directorial career in 1997 with "Gattaca," followed by "S1m0ne." Most recently, he helmed the enjoyable thriller "Lord of War."

As far as Orlando Bloom is concerned, he was last seen in "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End." Dang, that was ages ago. He's got "New York, I Love You" and "Sympathy for Delicious" coming up.

The good-looking Kurylenko, of course, last starred in "Quantum of Solace."

In the book, Carter recounts the time he spent in Sarajevo working as an aid worker during the Balkans war siege.

Andrucha Waddington (“Eu Tu Eles”) is directing the film, which is expected to head into principal photography later this year.
