The plot details for the film are currently being kept under wraps, but sources report that the project is being considered a top priority for all parties involved. The script is currently being penned by Joost, Schulman and Josh Koenigsberg, whose previous credits include time as a staff writer on Netflix’s Orange is the New Black and story editor on Hulu’s High Fidelity series adaptation. The trio are working on an original idea from Christopher Yost, who was the sole writer on the project originally and is currently working as writer and executive producer on Netflix’s live-action Cowboy Bebop series.
Chad Oman (Remember the Titans, Gemini Man) is attached to produce the film alongside mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who recently brought back his hit Bad Boys franchise to life and saw the long-awaited threequel land as the third highest-grossing film of 2020 and is gearing up for the release of another franchise revival with the Tom Cruise-fronted Top Gun: Maverick, which is currently slated for a July 2 release.
