Cynthia Erivo, an Academy Award nominee, is set to extend her production credentials with an adaptation of Adrian Tchaikovsky's sci-fi thriller 'Saturation Point' for Universal Pictures. In a fresh collaboration, Erivo joins forces with renowned producer-director Michael Bay to bring this intense narrative to the big screen.

The screenplay, written by Minnie Schedeen, will capture the harrowing voyage of Dr. Jasmine Marks as she leads a search-and-rescue operation in the perilous region known as The Zone. The inhospitable climate challenges life forms, and as Marks delves deeper, she confronts unsettling truths.

Erivo, celebrated for her performances in 'Wicked' and other acclaimed projects, will produce the film through Edith's Daughter Productions, which secured a first-look deal with Universal last year. Meanwhile, fellow producers Bay and Fuller will contribute their expertise from their Platinum Dunes banner.

Key production figures include Alex Ginno, serving as executive producer, along with Universal's own Ryan Jones and Christine Sun overseeing the project. The collaboration anticipates a gripping addition to the sci-fi genre.
