Sony Pictures has bought Christopher MacBride's pitch for Amnesia, a sci-fi thriller based on the Arcana Comics graphic novel by Dwayne Harris. Deadline reports MacBride is set to write and direct.

Published in 2011, Amnesia centers on a terrorist detonation of a powerful electromagnetic pulse that not only renders electronics useless but also erases everyone's memories.

Aaron Ryder and Patrick Chu of FilmNation, which packaged the pitch, will produce alongside Arcana’s Dan Forcey and Sean Patrick O’Reilly.
