Universal Developing new Gritty Untitled Sci-Fi Thriller

Universal Pictures is developing a new sci-fi crime thriller project, and they've just hired Daniel Casey to write the script for director Bobby Glickert who is a former assistant to Fast Five director Justin Lin. this will be the first feature film that Casey is set to write, he is the product of a writing lab called Reliance/Imagine Writing Lab. It was "created in Dec. 2010, the lab is a partnership between Imagine Entertainment and India’s Reliance Big Entertainment, the latter of which funded the program. Ten scribes were selected to work on pitches and scripts with each other. Casey is repped by WME and Circle of Confusion."

The studio picked up the spec script back in June from Glickert. The story details are being kept secret, but Lin had this to say about it when it was first acquired, “The tone and the gritty approach to the sci-fi genre taken here is something that hasn’t been seen in a while.”

I'm always up for a solid sci-fi film, and even though there's not much information on the project, I'm curious to see what it ends up being.
