Overview
- Sony Pictures won a competitive chase for 71 Minutes, an original spec script by Ian Shorr.
- Jason Reitman will produce through his Ghost Corp banner with Erica Mills, and he is not attached to direct.
- The film is described as a real‑time thriller about a man evading pursuers with only 71 minutes until sunrise.
- Shorr wrote the script on spec, drawing interest from more than 20 production companies and several studios before the deal closed.
- Trade coverage differs on tone, with JoBlo calling it a supernatural thriller and floating a vampire angle that The Hollywood Reporter did not confirm, while Shorr’s profile rises as his separate Warner Bros. project starring Keanu Reeves and directed by Tim Miller is now shooting.
