Following the success of
A Quiet Place, there's plenty of intrigue surrounding what's next for director John Krasinski, who also starred in the film alongside his wife Emily Blunt. Turns out, he may have already found his follow-up film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Krasinski's next film will be
Life on Mars, an adaptation of the short story
We Have Always Lived on Mars by Cecil Castelluci. Krasinski is planning the film alongside
A Quiet Place producers Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller. Paramount, which distributed
A Quiet Place, is in negotiations to pick up the project.
Although there is no writer on board just yet,
We Have Always Lived on Mars "centers on a woman who is among a handful of descendants of a Martian colony long-abandoned by Earth following a cataclysm. The woman one day finds she can breathe the air on Mars, upending her world and that of her fellow colonists."
Krasinski, who found the story and reportedly brought it to his Platinum Dunes cohorts, isn't expected to star in the film. He will, however, be a producer on the project alongside Allyson Seeger, an executive at his Sunday Night Productions banner.
News of
Life on Mars follows on the heels of
a recent interview with Platinum Dunes founders Andrew Form and Brad Fuller in which the two claimed they would no longer remake horror films, but instead focus on original genre films, like
A Quiet Place.
