Classified
New Line has won an auction for Classified, director Chad Stahelski’s latest action film described as “Die Hard meets Indiana Jones.” The film is said to be set “inside a top secret government bunker, the kind that ends Raiders of the Lost Ark. That bunker contains relics covertly recovered during World War II, and they turn out to be more powerful and dangerous than ever imagined.” [Deadline]
Mother/Android
Hulu has acquired the streaming rights to Mother/Android, an upcoming sci-fi film starring Chloe Grace Moretz as a woman named Georgia who, “with her boyfriend Sam (Algee Smith), goes on a treacherous journey to escape their country, which is caught in an unexpected war with artificial intelligence. Days away from the arrival of their first child, the couple must face No Man’s Land— a stronghold of the android uprising, in hopes of reaching safety before giving birth.” [Deadline]
