In a highly competitive situation, Apple has landed rights to develop "Off Season", a spec from Holland, Michigan‘s Andrew Sodroski, which Academy Award nominee Vanessa Kirby will star in and produce through her Aluna Entertainment.
While specifics of the plot haven’t been disclosed, the movie is described as a femme fatale thriller set in a luxury resort on Mexico’s Mayan Riviera.
42 developed the script, with Peter Dealbert and Ben Pugh to produce for the company, alongside Kirby and Lauren Dark for Aluna Entertainment. No director has yet been attached to the project.
On a tear of late with roles in "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One" and Ridley Scott’s "Napoleon" opposite Joaquin Phoenix.
Kirby will next be seen starring in Ron Howard’s thriller "Eden", which is coming off of its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.
Currently in production in the UK on the highly anticipated "The Fantastic Four: First Steps", in which she plays Sue Storm aka the Invisible Woman. She’ll also be seen starring opposite Jennifer Jason Leigh in the drama "Night Always Comes" from Benjamin Caron, who directed her on Netflix’s "The Crown". That Netflix pic also hails from her Aluna, a production company exploring the spectrum of the female experience, which launched under a multi-year first-look deal with the streamer.
