Phil Lord and Chris Miller are directing. Simon Kinberg and Aditya Sood are producing "Artemis," the follow-up novel by "The Martian" author, reports variety.com.

"Artemis" follows a woman named Jazz, a directionless twentysomething constrained by her small town, the titular Artemis - the only city on Moon. With debts to pay and a salary that barely covers the rent, she cannot say no when a life-changing opportunity drops in her lap. But she then finds herself in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself.

Robertson-Dworet's recent credits include Marvel's upcoming "Captain Marvel" and the reboot of "Tomb Raider." She is also working on "Spider-Man" spinoff "Silver & Black."
