What’s David Robert Mitchell been as much as these days? Well, since “Under The Silver Lake,” not a lot, however that’s about to alter. Deadline experiences that Mitchell has his subsequent mission lined up at Warner Bros., and the director is teaming up with Anne Hathaway and the Bad Robot crew for a brand new thriller mission.
So what’s the news on this one? Well, Deadlines calls it a “thrill-ride,” and Mitchell plans to shoot the flick on IMAX, so count on this to be a bit completely different from “Silver Lake” or “It Follows.” Mitchell pens the movie’s unique script and can co-produce alongside J.J. Abrams and Hannah Minghella at Bad Robot and Matt Jackson at Jackson Pictures. As for government producers, Jake Weiner and Chris Bender accomplish that by means of Good Fear Content.
Fresh off one other nice flip in James Gray‘s “Armageddon Time,” Hathaway wowed Sundance audiences in “Eileen.” William Oldroyd‘s thriller also stars Thomasin McKenzie, but doesn’t have an official theatrical launch but. Other upcoming tasks for Hathway embody Rebecca Miller‘s “She Came To Me” with Peter Dinklage and Marisa Tomei, which simply had its premiere on the Berlinale final month. Also upcoming: Michael Showalter‘s romantic comedy “The Idea Of You” from Prime Video and one other thriller, Benoît Delhomme‘s “Instinct.”
As for Mitchell, he’s been quiet since “Silver Lake” premiered in competitors on the Cannes Film Festival in 2018. The conspiratorial neo-noir with Andrew Garfield received a delayed theatrical launch in April 2019 and obtained blended opinions from critics, though it has its defenders. While “Silver Lake” made simply over $2 million on the field workplace, his 2016 breakout, “It Follows,” made 17x its finances: a $23.3 gross off of $1.3 million. Mitchell first made waves in 2010 at SXSW together with his function debut, “The Myth Of The American Sleepover.”
Mitchell’s new thriller mission with Hathaway joins many different intriguing upcoming issues affiliated with Bad Robot. Those embody Ta-Nehisi Coates’s “Superman” script, a supernatural Western from Jason Bateman referred to as “The Pinkerton,” an animated movie primarily based on Dr. Seuss’ “All The Places You’ll Go” from John M. Chu, and a live-action “Hot Wheels” film from Mattel. Will all of those truly enter manufacturing? Given Bad Robot’s penchant for failed tasks, who is aware of? But count on Mitchell’s subsequent movie to maneuver into manufacturing quick.
