Cary Fukunaga, the director whose 2009 debut film Sin Nombre won the Directing Award at the Sundance Film Festival, has signed on to direct a new sci-fi thriller for Universal called Spaceless. Produced by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean), the film’s story is said to be about “an assassin who wakes up inside a spacesuit tumbling helplessly through space, with a computer designed to keep him company until his air runs out. He must try to solve the mystery of his death, which began when he broke into an orbiting space station to carry out a hit. The man, however, begins to question his reality, unsure if he is succumbing to madness or in an artificially created environment.” Award-winning filmmaker Fukunaga will first do a rewrite of the original spec script by Jeff Vintar (I, Robot, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within) before production starts on the film. Information is yet to be released concerning which actors are set to star in this sci-fi thriller. Cary Fukunaga’s next release will be an adaptation of Jane Eyre starring Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender and Jamie Bell, which is out in UK cinemas on September 9th.
