SOURCE CODE scribe Ben Ripley is ready to blast off with 7th DAY, a sci-fi thriller set to be helmed by Australian filmmaker Shane Abbess (the forgettable GABRIEL).
Really slight story details available for this one, but it’s being called “THE SHINING in a spaceship” (isn’t that what they said about EVENT HORIZON?); all that’s known is that it concerns a voyage to establish a new colony in outer space.
The project is set up at the Dino De Laurentiis Co., where the late producer’s wife Martha De Laurentiis will produce. She gave this statement to Variety: “We are always looking for young, inspiring filmmakers wanting to tell a unique, high-concept story, and after meeting Shane, I decided to immediately snap the property off the market.”
We’ll keep you in the loop when/if we hear more.
