The thriller is about a post-apocalyptic world in which a city has been taken over by an alien power. The science fiction series of the same name serves as a template.
Los Angeles – Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal (40, “Brokeback Mountain”, “Spider-Man: Far From Home”) wants to film the thriller “Oblivion Song” as a producer and lead actor.
His company Nine Stories published a corresponding report on the cinema portal “Deadline.com” with information about the project.
The template is based on the science fiction series of the same name by comic book author Robert Kirkman (“The Walking Dead”), which takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. The city of Philadelphia was taken over by a foreign power, hundreds of thousands of people are locked in a horrible environment. Ten years later, the main character, Nathan Cole, returns to the place as a lonely rescuer to track down survivors.
As a producer, Gyllenhaal is on board together with his colleague Riva Marker and their joint company Nine Stories. This “stunning and compelling” series is about entertainment, but also about big, global issues, Marker said in the report. Gyllenhaal last shot the action thriller “Ambulance” under the direction of Michael Bay and a remake of the successful Danish thriller “The Guilty” by director Antoine Fuqua. dpa
