3 Nov
Summary
- Paul W.S. Anderson will direct adaptations of Nether Station and Nether Vortex.
- The films will star neurodivergent scientist Cammie Skoura in a cosmic horror setting.
- Jonathan Wakeham is adapting the screenplays for the two-film series.
Filmmaker Paul W.S. Anderson, acclaimed for his work on the Resident Evil franchise, is slated to direct "Nether Station" and "Nether Vortex." These films are adaptations of the science fiction horror novels penned by author Kevin J. Anderson. The story revolves around Cammie Skoura, a gifted, neurodivergent young scientist aboard a deep-space expedition.
Her journey uncovers ancient alien ruins and leads toward a profound discovery. "Nether Station," published three years prior to its sequel "Nether Vortex" on October 27, drew inspiration from Anderson's own fears and cosmic dread, with the film "Event Horizon" being a notable influence.
Jonathan Wakeham, a screenwriter with credits including "Midas Man," is adapting the screenplays for both films. Paul W.S. Anderson will produce, joined by Jeremy Bolt, John Harlacher, and Tony Eldridge. This project signifies Anderson's return to the cosmic horror genre he touched upon with "Event Horizon" in 1997.
