Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier is directing the film from a screenplay written by Eric Heisserer, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Based on a 2014 novel by Josh Malerman, the story is set in the near future, where a mother (Bullock) and her two young children are among a small group of survivors after a mysterious alien force has driven the world's population to deadly violence.
Production on the film is expected to start in August.
