Los Angeles: Oscar winner Kathryn Bigelow has been tapped by Netflix to direct its film adaptation of author David Koepp’s upcoming thriller novel ”Aurora”. Koepp, who has previously penned movies like “Mission: Impossible” and “Jurassic Park”, will also write the ”Aurora” screenplay.
According to Deadline, the book is set to be released on June 7 by Harper Collins.
The film “follows characters who are coping with the collapse of the social order, set against a catastrophic worldwide power crisis.” The story is set in Aurora, Illinois, where Aubrey Wheeler and her teenage son are forced to fend for themselves in the wake of a massive power outage. Wheeler’s estranged brother, a Silicon Valley CEO, has built a bunker in the desert keeping in mind such an apocalyptic event, and their reunion leads to reckonings on a global and personal scale.
Bigelow, who became the first woman to win a directing Oscar in 2010 for “The Hurt Locker”, is returning behind the camera for a feature project after 2017’s ”Detroit”.
Greg Shapiro, producer of “The Hurt Locker,” is backing ”Aurora” along with Gavin Polone.
