As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for sci-fi narratives that push the boundaries of imagination, I can hardly contain my excitement for Jon Spaihts’ directorial debut. With a resume boasting screenwriting credits on blockbusters like Dune, Prometheus, and Doctor Strange, it’s clear that he has a knack for weaving intricate tales within the cosmos.
Screenwriter Jon Spaihts, known for his work on ‘Dune’, will take on his first directorial role with a science fiction thriller that was revealed during the Toronto Film Festival on Thursday
Independent studio Laika is creating a film centered around a woman who’s probing a mystery that transpired during a week she can’t recall. Writer-producer Spaihts, with experience in science fiction productions, has been enlisted for the project. Apart from Dune and its sequel Dune 2, his other screenwriting accomplishments include collaborating with Damon Lindelof on Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, penning Passengers , and contributing to Marvel’s Doctor Strange
Spaihts earned an Oscar nomination for the best adapted screenplay category for his contribution to the script of the film ‘Dune’. He collaborated on the script with director Denis Villeneuve and Eric Roth. If Warner Bros. Discovery decides to produce a potential ‘Dune 3’ or extend the ‘Dune’ universe beyond currently announced projects, they might consider assigning additional tasks to Spaihts
“Spaitghts expressed his excitement about this long-awaited personal endeavor, stating that he couldn’t have found more suitable collaborators. Laika, known for their distinctive creative approach and intricate, custom storytelling, aligns perfectly with the nature of this project.” (Introduction being shared this week with potential buyers in Toronto)
Recently, Laika unveiled that they are producing a live-action movie titled “Crumble“, penned and helmed by Brian Duffield. Additionally, they have plans to reissue their initial animated feature film, known as “Coraline“
As a devoted admirer, I’ve always been captivated by Jon’s extraordinary work as a screenwriter. He stands out among the best, demonstrating an unparalleled creativity and inventiveness that makes him one of the most inspiring storytellers in the industry today. It’s truly an honor for us to collaborate with him, as he embarks on his directorial debut, pouring his distinctive vision and essence into a completely original concept that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally poignant. This was Matt Levin’s personal take on the matter
Spaihts is represented by CAA and Circle Management + Production.
