Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (duo behind A Quiet Place and Heretic) are directing an untitled “high-concept” science fiction movie for Universal & Amblin

THR details, “Beck and Woods are longtime friends from Iowa who were propelled to mainstream success in 2018 thanks to their spec A Quiet Place, which Paramount bought and made into the hit film. Beck and Woods are coming off of the critical and commercial A24 hit Heretic. Before that, they helmed the sci-fi feature 65 starring Adam Driver for Sony.”

Beck and Woods wrote on Instagram last night, “This new project is thirty years in the making. Really proud to bring this story to life alongside Mr. Spielberg and our heroes at Amblin and Universal Pictures. Never a dull day working in the dream factory.”
