John Boyega and Letitia Wright are to star in Hold Back the Stars, a movie adaptation of the novel written by Katie Khan. Mike Cahill will direct a script by Christy Hall, with Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps producing.
Published last year by Simon & Schuster, the book revolves around a man and a woman who revisit memories of their love affair on a utopian Earth while they are trapped in the vast void of space with only 90 minutes of oxygen left.
Cahill directed two episodes of the Nightflyers series and I Origins. Hall’s credits include Daddio. The package is repped by WME, which Cahill and Boyega and Wright — those thesps are also at London-based Identity Agency Group and by attorney Jason Sloane. Hall is CAA. Stay tuned. This one should sell quickly.
We can’t wait!
