HORRIBLE BOSSES Director Seth Gordon To Helm Astronaut Drama GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM

Seth Gordon, known for directing Four Christmases, Horrible Bosses, and episodes of several great TV series like Parks and Recreation, The Office, The Goldbergs, and Atypical, has been hired to direct the upcoming astronaut drama, Ground Control to Major Tom. The screenplay is being written by Jason A. Metcalf (Heathers).

Variety reports the following synopsis:

“Ground Control to Major Tom” is the story of an astronaut and a NASA ground control expert who have never met but fall in love over the course of the astronaut’s classified mission to an abandoned space station. When things go wrong and the astronaut’s ship is destroyed, ground control and the rest of the world presume he’s dead — until 18 months pass and they receive word he’s alive. Now, the only thing standing between them is a huge expanse of space and a dangerous attempt to get him home.

This sounds like a great movie! I hope they get a couple of really good actors to fill the main roles. The film is currently in development at Solstice Studios, and we will report when we hear more. Does this sound like a movie you’d like to see?
