It’s been a banner year for Glen Powell with three hit movies to his credit. The rom-com Anyone But You, the summer blockbuster Twisters, and the action-comedy Hit Man really put him on the map in such a way that Powell can do whatever he wants. Well, he’s cashing in on this hot streak by shopping around a new project, titled Homewreckers.
Powell has hit the studios with Homewreckers, an erotic thriller with a touch of sci-fi added to it. The script is by Neil Paik based on his novella, with Powell also aboard as a producer.
No other details are available, but you can expect a bidding war to break out for Homewreckers. That’s the kind of attention Powell has earned.
There’s a lot coming up for Powell including Edgar Wright’s The Running Man, and the upcoming dark comedy Huntington. He also has JJ Abrams’ mystery film, and the Hulu series Chad Powers that he created and will lead. We have to expect that he’ll turn up in the inevitable Top Gun: Maverick sequel, as well.
Paik is the unknown quantity here for most people. He’s writing the Amazon/MGM feature The Bombshell Bandit starring international superstar Priyanka Chopra. He is also set to make his directorial debut with the film Windowshopper, adapting his short story. [Deadline]
