Nicolas Chartier’s Voltage Films has tapped Gabriele Muccino, pictured, to direct the science-fiction thriller Near Death, writes Variety.
“Near Death centers on a near-death survivor who starts predicting future events and acting in bizarre ways while his wife notices the world itself changing all around her in impossible ways. Fearing for her sanity, she investigates and uncovers a massive conspiracy that bridges space and time.”
The deal reteams Muccino with Voltage following his Fathers and Daughters, starring Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried and Aaron Paul. Voltage plans to begin casting in October.
Sherryl Clark and Joe Riley will produce along side of Voltage’s Craig J. Flores and Chartier. Muccino will direct from a script by Carter Blanchard, who recently signed on to write a new draft of Fox’s Independence Day sequel.
