Matt Damon and Ben Affleck To Produce a Sci-Fi Horror Action Series REAVER X SPECTER
Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and their production company Pearl Street are set to produce a sci-fi action horror drama series with Portal A titled Reaver X Specter.
The series is set in Atlanta against the backdrop of “an insidious alien invasion disguised as an epidemic.” The project was created by The Haunting of Hill House writer Jeff Howard and writer/director Kholi Hicks. The story follows “two rival sisters on the front lines — a paramedic and a CDC microbiologist — who uncover the true nature of the outbreak and must put aside their personal baggage in order to stop the invasion from spreading.”
Portal A founder Nate Houghteling said, “It is about these timely subjects and about this younger generation and it really resonates with buyers. The savvy production companies from the traditional world understand that when it comes to speaking to this new generation, often times on platforms that are new to them, you can’t fake it.”
This sounds like an interesting story that could make for a great series with the right creative talent on board. I loved The Haunting of Hill House, so if this series has that level of writing, we might actually be in for a real treat.
