The Hollywood Reporter

The Grey's Anatomy creator and the Felicity co-creator are partnering to turn Wayward Pines author Blake Crouch's upcoming book Recursion into a feature film and television universe. Due out on June 11, 201, Recursion "explores what happens when a brilliant scientist invents a powerful technology that allows people not just to reactivate their most visceral memories but to reinvent them entirely. For some, it offers the chance to rewrite their entire lives. In the wrong hands, it will upend the world as we know it." Reeves, who directed the Planet of the Apes rebooted films, says of the project: “Blake’s mind-bending novel presents an incredible opportunity to explore its expansive narrative simultaneously through both film and television." Rhimes adds: "Projects like this are why I came to Netflix. The opportunity to explore a multi-genre universe in innovative ways is extremely exciting. Matt and Blake both have the tremendous ability to build compelling characters and imaginative landscapes and I am thrilled to work alongside them.”
