The project is based on upcoming novel from Matt Aldrich after sources say the studio preemptively landed rights to it last week. Details are being kept under wraps, but the pitch has been billed as an elevated sci-fi thriller revolving around the pursuit of eternal life. Jenkins and Aldrich will be adapting from Aldrich’s unpublished manuscript.

Jenkins fam are we finally back?????

Hold up lemme look up his filmography first

interesting

Oh s*** it’s the moonlight guy. Yeah I’m in

Sometimes you say the most uncultured things homie

“Elevated sci fi” lol

Bro I know like 5 directors by name

Jenkins and Glen Powell?

Bro I seen you ask the homie “is that your hair or a hat”

Barry did one for them, now it’s the one for him?

kinda feels like repeat formula of Twisters last year

Universal Pictures get an intimateish indieish director to do a genre/blockbuster play with Glen Powell.

Last time it was Lee Isaac Chung going from Minari to Twisters, with some star wars stuff in between

this time its Barry Jenkins going from Moonlight/Beale Street to this movie, with lion king in between

Was an honest question

Very much in on a classic

You got one big bro

It seems like Barry trying to get the best of both worlds with this. Studio backed film while doing something original

I wish we got the alvin ailey bipoc
