- Lord Miller is set to produce a feature adaptation of Forrest Brazeal's forthcoming debut novel 'Paradox Inc.' for Universal Pictures.
- Daniel Roher, the Academy Award-winning Canadian filmmaker, is attached to direct the adaptation.
- Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the Oscar-winning helmers behind 'Project Hail Mary,' run the Lord Miller production shingle producing the project.
- Forrest Brazeal's 'Paradox Inc.' marks the author's first novel, which is still forthcoming as of the announcement.
- Universal Pictures is the studio backing the adaptation deal, reported as an exclusive.
Why it matters: The pairing of Oscar-winning sci-fi producers Lord and Miller with Oscar-winning doc filmmaker Roher on a debut novel signals Universal's bet on high-prestige source material. Roher's move from documentary (the Oscar-winning 'Navalny') into a narrative sci-fi feature marks a notable directorial transition for the filmmaker.
