Another potential hitch has been nipped in the bud during
pre-production for Daniel Espinosa’s
high-profile sci-fi drama, Life. Initially Ryan Reynolds was to take point as the
film’s protagonist, though the actor’s lasting commitment to The Hitman’s Bodyguard recently
bumped him down to a smaller role, opening up the part for Jake Gyllenhaal.
Much like Reynolds’ allegiance to The Hitman’s Bodyguard, Paramount
is currently presiding over J.J. Abrams-produced
sci-fi drama God Particle.
Alas, whereas the actor found some wiggle room to ensure he could still feature
in both films, Paramount has opted to pass up Life, allowing Sony to
swoop in to assume financial and distribution duties.
Partnering with Skydance, both parties have tentatively placed a
production start date for later in the year, with Daniel Espinosa set to direct
from a script produced by Paul
Wernick and Rhett Reese of Deadpool fame. David Ellison
and Dana Goldberg are producing on
behalf of Skydance, with Bonnie Curtis
and Julie Lynn also leveraging
producing duties between them.
Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal and Rebecca
Ferguson will embark on the existential search for Life at
some point in early 2017.
