The 47-year-old director has penned the script of the film, but will not be helming it, reported Variety.
Garlands has films such as "Annihilation" and "Ex Machina" to his directing credit. He has also written screenplays for movies "28 Days Later", "Sunshine", and "Never Let Me Go".
Garland's wife Paloma Baeza, best known for the short film "The Window", has landed the directing duties from the studio.
