HBO Max plans spin-off series based on upcoming 'The Batman' movie
The film's director Matt Reeves is developing the police drama.
Netflix is planning a sci-fi universe based on the novel 'Recursion'
Netflix is making the most out of its deals with TV legend Shonda Rhimes and Planet of the Apes/Cloverfield director Matt Reeves by putting them together for one ambitious project. The creators will work on a feature film and a TV universe based on Blake Crouch's upcoming sci-fi thriller novel Recursion. It's unclear what the streaming platform means by "TV universe" -- it could be a full-blown series, but it could also just be a limited series that expands on the feature film. According to Netflix Recursion is about a "save-the-world sci-fi thriller, an epic romance, and an intricate police procedural," which makes it sound like a cross between Cloverfield and How to Get Away with Murder.
Netflix lands sci-fi movie from 'Planet of the Apes' director
Netflix's sci-fi adaptations are about to expand beyond the likes of Altered Carbon and Lost in Space. Deadline has learned that Netflix has secured the rights to Life Sentence, a movie take on a Matthew Baker short story about a future where authorities wipe the memories of criminals instead of sending them to prison. Matt Reeves, the director of the two most recent Planet of the Apes movies, is producing the title. It's not known when the movie would premiere, but apparently that's not the big story -- there was reportedly a fierce bidding war.
