Animated short set for live-action adaptation.

Heat Vision has learned that artist and filmmaker Wes Ball is working 20th Century Fox to develop a live-action feature based on his awesome animated short ‘Ruin.’

Released in March the dialogue-free, 8-minute short is set in a post-apocalyptic North American city overgrown with foliage and revolves around a cinematic and thrilling chase sequence.

Ball, who is based at OddBall Animation, will direct the feature and will co-write the screenplay with T.S. Nowlin.
