Joel Edgerton to headline Dark Matter adaptation for Apple TV+

March 30, 2022 by Matt Rodgers

Riding high off the back of its history-making Academy Award success with CODA, Apple TV+ is wasting no time creating new content, and has just given the green light to a nine-episode, straight-to-series adaptation of Dark Matter starring Joel Edgerton.

Released in 2016, Dark Matter was at one time intended to be a Roland Emmerich blockbuster, but now The Hollywood Reporter have revealed that Apple TV will be adapting Black Crouch’s bestseller, which “centers on a college physics professor in Chicago with a warm family life. The teacher is knocked out by a masked abductor and wakes up in a world he doesn’t know in which his wife is not his wife, his son was never born, and he’s a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable and impossible — his theory has become a fully-realized technology for inter-dimensional transfer.”

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and Clash of the Titans helmer Louis Leterrier (who was also in negotiations to shoot the sequel to Edgerton’s Bright) will direct the first four episodes, while Blake Crouch will write the script and act as showrunner.

Let us know whether you’ve read Dark Matter and if you think Edgerton is the perfect fit for the protagonist by heading to our social channels @FlickeringMyth…
