Former stuntman turned director Ric Roman Waugh (Felon, Snitch) has signed up to direct and rewrite the sci-fi thriller Tipping Point for Relativity Media, which is based on the original screenplay from Todd Stein.
Tipping Point is described as ‘a tense, riveting sci-fi thriller that paints an ominous picture of the world 100 years into the future. With the world’s population approaching 10 billion, the penalty for having children without a license is death – no questions, no excuses, and no mercy. Ruthless Population Control Officer Solomon Cage lives only for his job, until the day he discovers two fugitives he’s been pursuing are the love of his life who mysteriously disappeared years ago and the 12-year-old son he never knew he had.’
So essentially it’s like Logan Run’s but a told from the perspective of the people in charge of tracking down the runners. Waugh’s next film, Snitch, the action-thriller starring Dwayne Johnson, Barry Pepper, Melina Kanakaredes, Benjamin Bratt, and Susan Sarandon opens in a few months time. (Source: Variety)
