Dimension Films has preemptively purchased the spec script THE GREYS from writer Adam Cohen and from producing partners Sean and Bryan Furst. F. Javier Gutierrez (TRES DIAS aka BEFORE THE FALL) is set to direct the film. The announcement was made today by Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Company (TWC). The logline of the sci-fi thriller is currently being kept under wraps.
“We are thrilled to be collaborating on this exciting script with Adam Cohen, Radar Pictures and The Fursts,” said Bob Weinstein. “As a fan, I have wanted to work with F. Javier Gutierrez for some time and am happy to join forces on his English language directorial debut.”
While the plot is a mystery, we might safely assume there’s some extraterrestrial activity involved, as the prototype for what most people associate with alien beings is commonly referred to as a “grey” (pictured).
“We’re energized by the incredible level of passion Bob Weinstein and Dimension have shown for Adam Cohen’s thrilling script and for the talented F. Javier Gutierrez, and we all feel it’s that kind of passion that makes for an ideal filmmaking partner,” said the producers.
One thing is for sure: As this is will be a Dimension/Weinstein project, it’ll receive no less than five release dates.
