Deadline is reporting that Jeff Robinov’s Studio 8 has snapped up a pitch from Steven Soderbergh for an action thriller entitled Planet Kill, which Soderbergh will produce and potentially direct.
Details on the project are being kept tightly under wraps, but the story has been created by Scott Z. Burns (Contagion) and James Greer, the latter of whom penned Soderbergh’s latest feature, the iPhone-shot psychological thriller Unsane, which is set for release in March and stars The Crown’s Claire Foy alongside Joshua Leonard, Jay Pharoah, Juno Temple, Aimee Mullins and Amy Irving [watch the first trailer here].
In addition to Planet Kill, Studio 8 has several other projects incoming, including the Ice Age survival thriller Alpha, and the Yann Demange-directed White Boy Rick.
