Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Partners has acquired the worldwide film rights for the science-fiction novel The Mother Code, Variety has learned exclusively.

The story, written by Silicon Valley biochemist Carole Stivers, will be published next year. Amy Louise Johnson, who has credits on the Syfy series Nightflyers, has been hired to write the script for Amblin.

The Mother Code is set in a world in which a biological weapon has nearly destroyed the planet, leading scientists and government officials working to save the human race by placing unborn children in the care of artificially intelligent mother robots. When the government decides the machines must be destroyed, one boy who was raised and nurtured by a robot must fight to save the only parent he has ever known.

Spielberg has a long resume of producing or executive producing science-fiction projects, including E. T.: The Extraterrestrial, the Back To The Future trilogy, the Jurassic Park and Men In Black franchises, AI: Artificial Intelligence, Minority Report, and Ready Player One.

Spielberg is executive producing Men in Black International and Cats, both due out this year. He’s directing and producing an updated remake of West Side Story, with filming starting this summer.

Stivers is represented by CAA and the Book Group. Johnson is represented by WME, the Cartel, and Jackoway Tyerman.

Eadie, I love the way you convert the text of these great articles into the format we use on All Sci-Fi and make the articles look even better than they do on the sites they come from!

They're so much more enjoyable to read that way than they would be if you just pasted them here — without your careful enhancements!

I know our other members feel the same way, but unfortunately they don't take the time to tell you this.

Speaking on their behalf, thank you for contributing your improved versions of the fascinating articles you find to All Sci-Fi. Hopefully some of our other members will be inspired by your fine example and start doing the same thing!
