Clive Owen will star in Children of Men for Universal Pictures. Alfonso Cuaron (Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban) is attached to direct the film.

Based on the book by P.D. James, the film takes place in the near future where mankind is unable to reproduce and word comes in that the youngest person on Earth, and 18-year-old, has died. Amidst the chaos, a former radical (Owen) has been assigned the task of protecting the most sought after person: the first pregnant woman in 20 years.

The project initially was written by Paul Chart and then rewritten by Mark Fergus and Hawk Otsby. Cuaron has rewritten it with his writing partner Timothy Sexton and David Arata.
