Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan are teaming up again on a project so mysterious that studio executives had to travel to the WME offices to get a glimpse of the script.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the two frequent collaborators are back on a new secret film, which is Coogler’s first spec script through his production company, Proximity Media. Coogler will also direct, with Jordan starring.
We won’t know anything about the movie until Coogler and his team are ready to tell us. The Hollywood Reporter writes that potential buyers from major studios must hold meetings about the project at the Beverly Hills offices of talent agency WME. The agency represents Jordan and Kugler, so this connection may be why it is considered a neutral and protected basis for holding these meetings. Following the expected meeting, Coogler and his team will meet with potential buyers to fully explain their vision for the film, which will then require a production commitment from the studio.
The only description one could go on is that this movie is a “genre” movie. The outlet also reported that two sources said there was a “contemporary factor” involved, but Coogler and his team have not officially commented on the sources’ claims.
