Dune<\/em> director Denis Villeneuve is in talks with Legendary Pictures to direct a film version of Annie Jacobsen’s nonfiction book Nuclear War: A Scenario<\/em>. Legendary Pictures reportedly picked up feature rights for the book as a potential project for Villeneuve.<\/p>\n

The official description<\/a> of Jacobsen’s Nuclear War: A Scenario<\/em> reads: \u201cThere is only one scenario other than an asteroid strike that could end the world as we know it in a matter of hours: nuclear war. And one of the triggers for that war would be a nuclear missile inbound toward the United States.<\/span>
\u00a0
\u201cEvery generation, a journalist has looked deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment: the technologies, the safeguards, the plans, and the risks. These investigations are vital to how we understand the world we really live in\u2014where one nuclear missile will beget one in return, and where the choreography of the world\u2019s end requires massive decisions made on seconds\u2019 notice with information that is only as good as the intelligence we have.

\u201cPulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen\u2019s Nuclear War: A Scenario<\/span><\/em>\u00a0explores this ticking-clock scenario, based on dozens of exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, have been privy to the response plans, and have been responsible for those decisions should they have needed to be made.\u00a0Nuclear War: A Scenario<\/span><\/em> examines the handful of minutes after a nuclear missile launch. It is essential reading, and unlike any other book in its depth and urgency.\u201d<\/p>\n
