Oscar-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton, known for helming Pixar classics WALL-E and Finding Nemo, is set to direct a new live-action sci-fi drama titled In the Blink of Eye for Searchlight Pictures. Written by Colby Day, “the project seeks to explore no less than the entire history of the world and tackle the nature of life, love, hope and connection, doing so by focusing on three intersecting storylines. Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, and Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia are the watchwords.”

Day’s script was featured on the 2017 Black List, helping launch his screenwriting career. Day will act as an exec producer. Senior vp production Taylor Friedman and creative executive Apolline Berty are overseeing for Searchlight, reporting to heads of production and development Katie Goodson-Thomas and DanTram Nguyen.

Stanton delved into live-action in recent years, working on high-quality TV projects like Stranger Things, Better Call Saul, and most recently, the acclaimed Apple sci-fi series For All Mankind.
