Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the writers of A Quiet Place, have teamed with Sam Raimi to make an original sci-fi thriller.
A Quiet Place was certainly a big surprise hit upon release and fans are waiting excitedly for the release of the horror film’s sequel. Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the writers of the movie, are now behind another original thriller, this time a sci-fi movie with producer Sam Raimi (reuniting the trio after Raimi’s Quibi series 50 States of Fright).
Variety revealed that Beck and Woods will be writing and directing the film for Sony with Raimi’s production banner producing. Plot details are being kept secret right now but Raimi has said:
“Raimi Productions is proud to be teaming up with Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. They have exceeded all expectations in my experience with them at Quibi and we have the utmost confidence in their brilliant story. I am honored to once again be joining forces with our partners at Sony Pictures. We have a wild and thrilling blockbuster that we can’t wait to share with the world.”
Beck and Woods added in a statement: “After ‘A Quiet Place’ we knew we had a responsibility to reinvest back into the ecosystem of original ideas. We are so proud to have partnered with a studio that believes in a theatrical landscape that looks for launching new stories. Our producing team at Raimi Productions helped foster our vision for this film as directors before we introduced the spec script to the town. Sam Raimi is not only one of our heroes, but one of the only filmmakers to successfully master both independent film and the studio blockbuster. We can’t imagine a more perfect mentor to help us transition into big studio filmmaking.”
