Earlier this year Dan Trachtenberg got a whole lot of praise – and over 6.8 million Youtube views – for his live-action short film, Portal: No Escape, based on the hit videogame. It’s been enough to get Hollywood sniffing around, and now Universal has teamed him up with producer Chris Morgan and set him to direct the sci-fi heist movie Crime of the Century.
The film is based an original idea from Trachtenberg and Daniel Kunka (who will write the script), which revolves around a high-octane heist with a science fiction twist. Unfortunately though, while Deadline reports on the deal, they don’t have any more plot details than that.
The science fiction heist film will be produced by Chris Morgan, who has recently become a heavy hitter with his screenplays for Wanted and Fast Five, and currently has a major first-look deal at Universal.
