The corner has been lifted on the next mystery box from
J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot. Abrams will produce
Overlord, a World War II-set thriller starring
Wyatt Russell (
Everybody Wants Some!!) and
Jovan Adepo (
Fences) as American paratroopers.
Julius Avery (
Son of a Gun) will direct from a script from
Billy Ray (
Captain Phillips) and
Mark L. Smith (
The Revenant).
The Hollywood Reporter has (a few) details that promise unexpected revelations:
will star as American paratroopers dropped into enemy territory. As they approach their target — a Nazi-occupied village with a German radio tower — they realize that they are a part of something bigger than a simple military operation.
