April 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Back in 2012 JJ Abrams revealed he was working on a movie called God Particle, with Julius Onah set to direct. After that, new about the film went pretty quiet, but things are picking up again, as Variety reports that John Krasinski is circling the movie.

He would join the recently cast David Oyelowo and Gugu Mbatha-Raw in the movie, which ‘centers on a team of astronauts who make a terrifying discovery that challenges everything they know about the fabric of reality, as they desperately fight for survival.’ Oren Uziel (The Kitchen Sink) wrote the script.

Onah is still set to direct the movie, which will start shooting in the next few months. It’s currently set for release February 2017.

Will Smith has been incredibly picky about what projects he’s starred in recently, only making a few films in the past few years. However recently it was announced he was in talks for the sci-fi thriller Brilliance.

Now the actor has some company, as TheWrap reports Noomi Rapace has bagged the other lead role in the movie.

David Koepp (Jurassic Park) came up with the script, based on the Marcus Sakey novel. The book is set in a world where special individuals known as ‘brilliants’ have heightened abilities. The plot follows a government agent whose ‘brilliant’ gift is tracking down terrorists. However he may have met his match when tasked to find a dangerous man in Wyoming with his own set of special skills.

It’s not clear exactly who Rapace will play.

Julius Onah is set to direct, although it’s not clear when it will shoot.

December 1, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s several months since JJ Abrams signed up to produce God Particle, but now things have moved forward with Variety reporting that filmmaker Julius Onah has been set to direct the movie for Paramount Insurge, based on Oren Uziel’s (The Kitchen Sink) screenplay.

The film is about a team of American astronauts onboard a space station who are left stranded when the Earth vanishes into thin air following an accident involving a Hadron particle accelerator. While they try to work out what the hell to do, they discover a European spacecraft on their radar.

The project will mark the first major movie for Julius Onah, who’s created a bit of buzz for his short films such as Big Man and The Girl Is In Trouble. J.J. Abrams will produce through his Bad Robot Productions company. The project will be shot on a budget between $5 million and $10 million. It’s not clear when it might shoot.
