The works of the late Michael Crichton truly stands the test of time. To further insinuate that, the "Jurassic Park" mastermind's techno-thriller "Micro" was picked up by DreamWorks Studios to be made into a film, with stellar names being tagged for the project.

Frank Marshall, who produced "Back to the Future" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark," was named the producer for the movie. CrichtonSun LLC's Laurent Bouzereau and Sherri Crichton (the novelist's wife) will serve as the executive producers.

The latter reminisced how her husband was so "exhilarated, passionate and invested" in the story, revealing as per Slash Film that the book is "yet another opportunity for [Michael] to explore the clash between science and nature, as seen through the eyes of relatable characters."

"We are so pleased to have this opportunity to develop 'Micro,'" Steven Spielberg said as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter. "For Michael, size did matter whether it was for 'Jurassic's' huge dinosaurs or 'Micro's' infinitely tiny humans," the acclaimed director and DreamWorks co-founder added.

Variety says that "Micro" is Crichton's final work, which he unfortunately failed to complete when he passed away seven years ago. It was eventually finished by author Richard Preston and Harper Collins published the novel in 2011.

Deadline adds that the book was an instant New York Times bestseller and it held a spot in the esteemed list for more than 20 weeks combined.

The news about the adaptation of the celebrated novel comes after "Jurassic World" becomes the highest-grossing film this year as yet. DreamWorks CEO Michael Wright has nothing but great words and evident excitement for the journey of "Micro" to the silver screen.

"Michael Crichton's vast body of work has thrilled audiences around the world for decades, and it feels particularly poignant to be bringing his last published novel to DreamWorks," DreamWorks CEO Michael Wright said as quoted by Deadline. "This is the perfect place to unite these two dynamic brands," he added.

"Micro" is a "high-concept thriller" centered on the story of graduate students, who after were drawn and decoyed to work on a mysterious biotech company in Hawaii and were later shrunk and sacked from the rain forest, must use their scientific expertise and wits to save and protect themselves.

A lot of series and films were spawned from Crichton's works. The author himself directed a 1973 western thriller classic titled "Westworld," which is set to be adapted into a series by HBO. DreamWorks, which treasured its connection to the author, also acquired the rights to his novel "Pirate Latitudes."
