Wes Chu’s time travel saga Time Salvager is heading to the big screen, with Michael Bay set to direct.

According to Deadline, Zak Olkewicz will be adapting the book for Paramount Pictures. Time Salvager, the first in a series, is set in a resource-depleted future, and follows a veteran Chronman, sent back in time to salvage resources from disasters without altering the timeline. On what should be his final mission to the past, against his training and in violation of the Chronmen’s highest law, he brings a scientist back to the future with him – saving her life, but turning them both into fugitives.

Paramount bought the rights before the novel was published in 2015, with Bay connected to the project even at that point.
