Later in August 2014, it was reported that Peter Chelsom, who had previously directed Hector and the Search for Happiness for Relativity, was hired to direct the film, while Relativity would produce and distribute. On March 13, 2014, an industry source revealed that a science fiction-adventure film titled Out of This World was in development at Relativity Media, scripted by Allan Loeb. The project remained unproduced for over a decade. After failed rewrites by Allison Burnett ( Autumn in New York), the project was placed on hiatus, as Lobell left Universal for a deal at Castle Rock Entertainment. In 1999, Universal Pictures and Mike Lobell Productions acquired a screenplay, then titled Mainland, about a rebellious teen born on the moon who desired to come to the earth but whose physiology, it was feared, would not be able to survive the transition. Gardner is seen back on Mars with Nathaniel. Determined to join Gardner on Mars, Tulsa joins Kendra's training program. Kendra, who is retiring from active flight status with NASA, adopts Tulsa.
