Eruption by Michael Crichton and James Patterson
Earlier this month, Michael Crichton-James Patterson publishing juggernaut about a killer Hawaiian volcano—ideal fodder for a disaster movie, and a project Crichton was working on before his death in 2008—attracted the interest of directing duo Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, according to Deadline. They previously won an Oscar for climbing documentary Free Solo and also made the Oscar-nominated Nyad.
