‘Jurassic Park’ Scribe David Koepp Writing New Feature Film Take on ‘Westworld’
Screenwriter David Koepp (Jurassic Park) appears set to once again revisit the theme park world with a new feature film take on Westworld, reports Deadline.
Per the outlet, Koepp is writing the script for a new feature at Warner Bros., with a major filmmaker purportedly circling.
Written and directed by Michael Crichton, the 1973 Westworld followed a group of vacationers pit against a psychotic robot after it malfunctions at a theme park. It starred Yul Brynner, Richard Benjamin and James Brolin.
The sci-fi thrill ride reached such significant cult status, that it was later adapted into a hit TV series of the same name created by Lisa Joy and Jonah Nolan in 2016 that ran for four seasons.
Koepp has been involved with many excellent films over his career, having penned Jurassic Park, Stir of Echoes, Mission Impossible and Death Becomes Her, to name a few. His most recent work includes Jurassic World: Rebirth,Black Bag andPresence.
With those accolades, expect Koepp to deliver one hell of a Westworld script. Now we wait to see who this major filmmaker rumored to have interest is…
You can next see Koepp’s work with Disclosure Day hitting theaters June 12th, which he wrote for Steven Spielberg.
