Amazon Studios latest project is going to be a grounded sci-fi action thriller film named ‘Raindrop’. The pitch came from scribes Anna Halberg and Spenser Cohen and follows “a female two-hander sci-fi actioner as an estranged mother and daughter are forced to team up to unravel a conspiracy after a time travel mission goes awry.”
Spenser Cohen is a well-known screenwriter who has previously written Netflix’s ‘Extinction’, a sci-fi thriller starring Michael Peña and Lizzy Kaplan. He has also written ‘Distant’ that is under production by Amblin with Halberg as one of the producers and Will Speck & Josh Gordon directing it. Cohen and Halberg have together completed a short film ‘Blink’.
According to a prominent online news portal, “Cohen has sold an adaptation of upcoming novel ‘The Dark Side’ to ABC Signature that he’ll write with Black Label Media and Halberg producing. Cohen’s also producing Fabled along with Tom Hardy and Dean Baker for Legendary TV. The Cohen-scripted Moonfall starts shooting next week, with Roland Emmerich directing for Lionsgate.”
Raindrop will be produced by Automatik’s Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Fred Berger while Gemma Levinson is the executive on the project for Automatik.
