Michael B. Jordan is producing a new action thriller through his Outlier Society production banner titled T-Minus.
The movie is set up at Amazon MGM Studios the script is being co-scripted by The Fall Guy‘s Drew Pearce and Watchmen and Station Eleven scribe Nick Cuse.
The movie is said to be “an action-thriller along the lines of Top Gun meets Back to the Future, with a Philip K. Dick twist” and they think the project has “major tentpole potential.”
T-Minus will be adapted from the Philip K. Dick sci-fi 1974 short story A Little Something for Us Tempunauts. “In that story, tempunauts aka time travelers from the U.S. are sent a few days into the future rather than a century as planned.
“They learn their return from the future was fatal to them. They’re also trapped in a closed time loop, and the group deliberates whether to break out of it.”
This could make for a pretty wild action thriller, and I imagine that Jordan will be looking to star in it as well, but that isn’t mentioned in the report.
