A Mysterious Event Changes the World in ‘Out There,’ Being Directed by David Bruckner
David Bruckner‘s (The Signal, V/H/S, Southbound, The Ritual) plate is pretty full at the moment, as he’s next directing the supernatural thriller The Night House along with an episode of Shudder’s “Creepshow,” and it gets even fuller this week with the announcement (via Deadline) that he has also signed on to direct a sci-fi thriller titled Out There.
The high-concept sci-fi spec from Ian Levy was acquired by Entertainment One.
The film is, according to Deadline, “said to be akin to The Mist and deals with a mysterious event that changes the course of the world. One family struggles to survive.”
The Picture Company Partners Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman will produce.
Two-time BAFTA winning filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna, “Black Mirror“) is set to direct the feature adaptation of post-apocalyptic thriller novel, Juice, Deadline reports today.
Emmy winner Abi Morgan (Shame, “Eric”) will adapt Tim Winton‘s novel for Working Title Films.
In Juice, “A young husband and father is recruited into a top-secret resistance organization, to join the ranks of militia men tasked with targeting the isolated and wealthy culprits responsible for this global catastrophe. When a mission goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, having to fight to the end to survive in this hostile world.”
It’s set in a world ravaged by climate-change disaster.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Tim Winton has entrusted us with his extraordinary epic,” Wright told Deadline. “The story is both a thrilling modern family saga and an urgent call to action. I cannot wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen.”
Winton added, “I’m pleased to know a filmmaker of Joe Wright’s calibre has chosen to adapt Juice for the screen. His capacity to portray the turmoil and the turning points of nations and peoples as well as private individuals distinguishes his work as a director and I’m confident that Juice is in good hands.”
Juice was initially published in October 2024 and longlisted for The Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
