Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Chris Hemsworth, Lovecraft Country’s Jurnee Smollett and Miles Teller are set to star in Netflix’s new SF movie Spiderhead.

Joseph Kosinski is directing the adaptation of George Saunders’ 2010 short story, ‘Escape from Spiderhead’. According to Deadline, the film will be  “set in the near future, when convicts are offered the chance to volunteer as medical subjects in hopes of shortening their sentences. The focus is on two prisoners who become the test patients for emotion-altering drugs that force the prisoners to grapple with their pasts in a facility run by a brilliant visionary who supervises the program.” Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick are penning the script.
