One thing you can’t take away from Max Landis (Chronicle), whether you like him or not, is that he’s an incredibly hard worker, and all that work is starting to pay off in a big way. In addition to Netflix recently picking up his spec Bright, Landis now has another project in the works, and we’ve got the latest.
Per The Wrap, a bidding war between several studios and financiers is currently underway for Landis’ spec script Deeper, which now has Bradley Cooper attached to star. Kornel Mundruczo (White God) will direct the project for David Goyer‘s Phantom Four and Addictive Pictures.
Deeper is a drama about a disgraced astronaut who embarks on a mission to reach the bottom of a newly-discovered oceanic trench, which some speculate may be the lowest point on Earth. Facing great danger, he quickly finds himself in a physical and psychological fight against mysterious forces.
Landis will produce with David Goyer and Kevin Turen of Phantom Four and Russell Ackerman and John Schoenfelder of Addictive Pictures.
