‘Ozarks’ Bateman is onboard to direct and exec produce the feature which Apple – after numerous awards success – obtained the project for the in-demand package in a $100M+.
Plot details are being kept under wraps but rumours suggest that the project is set against the space race. The screenplay comes from Rose Gilroy, daughter of writer-director Dan Gilroy and actress René Russo.
