Cary Fukunaga confirmed for SPACELESS, plot info revealed

Earlier we reported that Cary Fukunaga, (Jane Eyre, Sin Nombre) was likely to direct a sci-fi film titled Spaceless for Universal Pictures. THR has now confirmed the project and revealed some plot info. The initial spec script was penned by Jeff Vintar. Spaceless is being produced by Gore Verbinski under his BlindWink Productions. Vintar is executive producing.

The story centres on "an assassin who wakes up inside a spacesuit tumbling helplessly through space, with a computer designed to keep him company until his air runs out. He must try to solve the mystery of his death, which began when he broke into an orbiting space station to carry out a hit. The man, however, begins to question his reality, unsure if he is succumbing to madness or in an artificially created environment."

This sounds like a cool project for Fukunaga to take on. I am interested in seeing him direct a sci-fi film. Ths story definitely sounds cool. Who doesn't love assassins? What are your thoughts?
