Black Bear has acquired worldwide rights to Laika’s live-action adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid‘s bestselling novel, “Atmosphere.” The Academy Award-winning indie studio and distribution company (“Imitation Game,” “Sing Sing,” “Train Dreams”) landed the rights in a highly competitive situation and will release the film theatrically.

“Atmosphere” is the latest global hit by Jenkins Reid, whose novels have sold more than 24 million copies worldwide and spawned multiple film and TV adaptations, like “Daisy Jones & the Six” and “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.” The film is set amid NASA’s Space Shuttle program in the 1980s and follows Joan, a brilliant young astronaut, and her compatriots as they prepare for missions where every launch could be their last.
