The latest writers for the predestination horror series have been found: Freaks’ Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein.

The pair gained the gig after a very clever Zoom interview with the studio, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The duo made their pitch to New Line execs and producers together, with a burning fireplace behind them. As they wrapped up the meeting, the fire came alive and the mantel began burning. The filmmakers stopped and, after a tense moment, quickly extinguished the flames. As they sat down, everyone relieved the accident had passed, a wrenching creak was heard and suddenly, the whizzing ceiling fan broke off and flew down, decapitating one of the filmmakers.

The execs and producers went from concern to all-out laughter. The bit, using a combination of prerecorded footage and visual effects, had transitioned seamlessly and showed their unabashed enthusiasm. It was, to all involved, the cherry on top.

This will be a relaunch of the franchise; the last movie was in 2011.
