Oscar winner Barry Jenkins looks to have found his next film — a new sci-fi thriller starring Glen Powell.
The project, titled “The Natural Order,” comes from an unpublished manuscript by Matthew Aldrich (“Coco”), and revolves around the pursuit of eternal life.
Universal preemptively landed the rights to the original pitch, with Jenkins in talks to direct. Jenkins and Aldrich are attached to adapt the screenplay from an unpublished manuscript written by Aldrich.
Adele Romanski, Mark Ceryak and Jenkins will produce under their Pastel banner. Jewerl Keats Ross will also produce. Senior EVP of production development Erik Baiers will oversee the project for the studio.
Powell is repped by CAA and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole; Jenkins and Aldrich are repped by CAA, manager Jewerl Keats Ross and lawyer Jamie Feldman.
Deadline first reported news of the project.
