Andrew Stanton to direct epic sci-fi drama Within the Blink of an Eye

After directing Discovering Nemo and WALL-E, Andrew Stanton turned his consideration to the realm of live-action with John Carter. The movie turned one of many greatest box-office bombs in historical past, main Disney to scrap the deliberate sequels. Within the decade since its launch, Andrew Stanton has largely stayed away from live-action films, however THR reviews that he’s set to return with Within the Blink of an Eye for Searchlight Photos.

Within the Blink of an Eye is being described as an epic sci-fi drama, which can “discover at least all the historical past of the world and sort out the character of life, love, hope and connection, doing so by specializing in three intersecting storylines.” Formidable. THR says that 2001: A House Odyssey, Interstellar, and Magnolia are the watchwords for the venture. Following the discharge of John Carter, Andrew Stanton has directed episodes of Stranger Issues, Higher Name Saul, Legion, Tales from the Loop, and For All Mankind.

The script by Colby Day was featured on the 2017 Black Listing. Day’s subsequent venture is Netflix’s adaptation of Jaroslav Kalfar’s Spaceman of Bohemia starring Adam Sandler and Carey Mulligan. The movie follows “an astronaut (Sandler) despatched to the sting of the galaxy to gather mysterious historical mud. He quickly finds his earthly life falling to items and he turns to the one voice who may help him attempt to put it again collectively. It simply so occurs to belong to a creature from the start of time lurking within the shadows of his ship.”

As somebody who by no means thought that John Carter was all that dangerous, I’m excited to see what Andrew Stanton has within the works for Within the Blink of an Eye.
