The Hollywood Reporter writes:
Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, longtime Russo scribes who worked on Gray Man as well as the Avengers pics, are writing the script.
The project adapts the acclaimed 2018 illustrated novel by Simon Stalenhag, the writer-artist who also created Tales From the Loop.
Producing are the Russos via their AGBO banner, along with the company’s co-founder, Mike Larocca. Chris Castaldi and Patrick Newall are also producing. Executive producing are Angela Russo-Otstot, Jake Aust, Geoff Haley, Markus and McFeely.
With production reportedly starting in October in Atlanta, Georgia (where the Russo’s filmed their Avengers films), the $200 million feature film could be the latest action-adventure outing added to Chris Pratt’s growing list of upcoming projects.
But, with Netflix’s current deterioration and liquidation of assets, it’s unclear whether or not this tall production order will be met.
