The New Country | Alex Proyas

[Cremildo]

'The Crow', 'I, Robot' and 'Gods Of Egypt' director Alex Proyas has signed with Gersh.

The Australian filmmaker is currently working on two projects: 'The New Country', a “sci-fi rock opera” with producer Brad Fischer; and 'The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag', a sci-fi film noir with producer Mike Medavoy.

'The New Country' is a time travel story set in a desert in “a very rare 1982”. The Medavoy project is a long-gestating movie once set up with Red Granite. It’s based on the 1942 novella by iconic science fiction author Robert Heinlein. The novella was a favorite of Proyas’s from a young age and served as the inspiration for his 'Dark City'. source
