Overview
- Netflix, which acquired the Max Taxe spec Friday, attached Shawn Levy to direct and produce through his 21 Laps banner.
- The film centers on a grieving father who sends a message into space and receives a reply.
- Dan Levine will produce for 21 Laps, and Becca Edelman will oversee the project.
- The project is in early development with no casting or release date, though reports say several notable actors are circling the lead.
- The Hollywood Reporter said the deal followed competitive bidding, and Levy’s recent run, from Deadpool & Wolverine to wrapping the Star Wars feature Starfighter, adds to the project’s profile.
