Universal and Amblin have picked up a hot spec from Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the prolific idea generators behind A Quiet Place.
Like everything with the duo, plot details are being kept in a soundproof room, but it is said to be a high concept sci-fi movie that they will direct.
Steven Spielberg, coming off of last weekend’s Disclosure Day, will produce via Amblin Entertainment with Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario. Beck and Woods will also produce via Beck/Woods along with Julia Glausi, their banner’s head of film and TV.
Beck and Woods are longtime friends from Iowa who were propelled to mainstream success in 2018 thanks to their spec A Quiet Place, which Paramount bought and made into the hit film starring Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, who also directed. It launched a lucrative franchise for the studio that spans sequels and spinoffs, and proved how big Beck and Woods’ ideas could become.
