Two-time Oscar-winning Wall-E and Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton is sticking with live action for his next feature, In the Blink of an Eye.
Stanton has been lined up to direct the sci-fi drama which is being produced by the Walt Disney Company’s Searchlight Pictures and was written by Colby Day. Jared Ian Goldman (Ingrid Goes West, Russian Doll) will produce.
In the Blink of an Eye is described as a sprawling, ambitious project that will explore the entire history of the world and address the biggest questions facing humanity by intersecting three unique storylines. According to The Hollywood Reporter, which announced Stanton’s involvement, films like Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, and Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia are being suggested as analogs.
