C4 and Origin Pictures have announced plans for a movie called Anubis. Based on a sci-fi short story by Paul Murray, the film will be scripted by Jane Goldman (Stardust, Kick-Ass, The Woman In Black).

Origin’;s head of development Ed Rubin has said it will be like Sideways in space. Sideways was a surprise hit based around two cantankerous middle-aged men on a California winelands road trip.
