‘Level Up’ – Area 51 Spec Script from ‘Totally Killer’ Writer Picked Up by The Hideaway Entertainment
Aliens are hot right now – don’t miss Hulu’s No One Will Save You, for starters! – and writers David Matalon (Totally Killer) and Matthew Altman (Feed the Devil) just sold their own take on the sub-genre. Deadline reports today that The Hideaway Entertainment has acquired the rights to a “high concept” spec script from the duo, which is titled Level Up.
The project is being described as “a sci-fi action comedy.”
Deadline details, “Level Up is about a man who wakes up bound and blindfolded in a top-secret facility deep beneath Area 51, soon discovering that he has amazing but inexplicable new abilities. His only hope to escape is the alien he’s imprisoned with… and she hates humans.
“But as they navigate their way out, their unconventional alliance becomes the key to saving the world from an impending global catastrophe.”
Jonathan Gray and Matthew Rhodes will produce on behalf of Hideaway, alongside Navid McIllhargey of Vandal Entertainment and Erik Olsen of Apocalyptic Entertainment.
“As writers,” Matalon and Altman said in a joint statement, “you’re always looking for producers who truly support and champion your work, and are committed to making the movie happen, and that’s why we’re so thrilled to be working with this team.”
The Hideaway Entertainment’s Matthew Rhodes calls Level Up “a wonderfully original and unique action-packed story with other-worldly franchise potential.”
