Badlands and Thunder Road have preemptively acquired Hivemind, a new spec script from Peter Gaffney, Deadline reports.

Hivemind is billed as an environmental thriller about the evolution of a new breed of killer wasps and the small town authorities who team up to prevent a deadly global outbreak. Gaffney, Adam Rodin and Brad Luff will serve as producers.

Strauss of Badlands told Deadline that they expect to go into production on the film fairly quickly, bringing up how they will follow a similar timeline as they did with Arachnid.
