Bad Robot Developing Sci-fi Thriller ‘Aporia’ So Feel Free to Start ‘Cloverfield’ Speculations
If J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot are attached to a sci-fi/horror project, you can bet that Cloverfield speculation won’t be far behind, so we expect that Cloverfield fans will be digging deep to learn everything they can about Aporia, a sci-fi spec that Paramount has preemptively picked up for Bad Robot to produce, THR reports.
Aporia is being described as a grounded sci-fi drama with time travel elements.
Jared Moshe, who wrote and directed the Western thriller The Ballad of Lefty Brown, wrote the spec and is attached to direct.
Bad Robot will produce with Neda Armian.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
