Writer/Director David S. Goyer (Untitled Batman Project, Superman: Man of Steel, FlashForward) has made a deal with Warner Bros. to adapt his first novel, which he wrote with Michael Cassutt (Stephen King’s Dead Zone) entitled, Heaven’s Shadow into a feature film.

Back in February we told you about Heaven’s Shadow, the first book in a planned sci-fi trilogy that will debut in July 2011 and will be followed by Heaven’s War and Heaven’s Fall.

The Heaven trilogy revolves around an object hurtling toward Earth that threatens to destroy all of mankind. When international panic ensues, two rival teams of astronauts head into space to intercept what appears to be a breakaway meteor. When they land on the object, they come face-to-face with alien forces.

Deadline reports that Goyer will write the screenplay, and will produce the film with his production company, Phantom Four.
