Overview
- The studio has officially attached Cooper as writer-director on a thriller drawn from the 1947 Roswell, New Mexico incident.
- Deadline reported the deal as just closed, noting the film’s premise centers on the rancher’s debris discovery and ensuing government secrecy.
- Eric Robinson and Ellen Goldsmith-Vein of The Gotham Group will produce, continuing their collaboration with Cooper.
- The film is in early development with no cast, production start, or release date announced.
- The move follows the strong run of Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, which has earned about $45 million worldwide since its October release, as Cooper also considers the long-gestating Eric Roth script Comanche as a potential future project.
