ROME -- Film producers Conroy Kanter and Ecky Malick on Friday announced the creation of I Am Third Prods., with plans to make the company's first film based on the best-selling apocalyptic novel "Father Elijah" by Canadian author Michael O'Brien.

The book tells the story of a Jewish Holocaust survivor turned Carmelite monk on a secret Vatican mission to confront the Antichrist, with the future of the church hanging in the balance.

Director Terrence Malick -- Ecky Malick's husband -- will serve as a special adviser to the company, which will be based in Los Angeles.
