After dominating the box office earlier this year, Final Destination Bloodlines helmers Zach Lipovsky & Adam Stein are having one hell of a year.
Not only are the filmmaking duo attached to write Gremlins 3, they’re in talks to direct Long Last for Universal and Amblin.
Long Last is based on the 50-page short story by Colin Bannon, THR reports, who also wrote the script.
Bannon’s short tells of ” a recently married woman whose life is upended when her husband’s long-lost wife shockingly returns after she was believed to be dead, sparking fears that she’s hatching a sinister plan to reclaim what was once hers.”
What’s more intriguing is that the project is being described as What Lies Beneath meets Rosemary’s Baby.
Even more curious is that Universal landed the project in a bidding war last year, with producers including Amblin’s Steven Spielberg, Simon Kinberg, Audrey Chon, and Scott Glassgold.
It’s clear that the smash success of Bloodlines has instantly transformed Lipovsky and Stein into an in-demand duo. In September, the pair were also attached to The Earthling, based on a short story by Jonathan Marty.
Stay tuned.
