According to THR, the premise of the project is as follows:

The story centres on an assassin who wakes up inside a spacesuit tumbling helplessly through space, with a computer designed to keep him company until his air runs out. He must try to solve the mystery of his death, which began when he broke into an orbiting space station to carry out a hit. The man, however, begins to question his reality, unsure if he is succumbing to madness or in an artificially created environment.

That sounds like a really freaky premise. I wish Jane Eyre was more like that. It’s like Castaway, but interesting. I’m sure the protagonist will be a very important role here, but the producers here will REALLY want to make sure they nail that computer voice. Casey Kasem, Christopher Walken, McLovin: These are all good choices.

The film is a fictionalized account of a real life commando mission, in which 20 soldiers and a spy snuck into Georgia for a good ol’ fashioned Southern stealin’. Will they pull off their mission and bring a swift end to the Civil War? This brings up another interesting question: how do you pull off a heist without a computer expert? Every heist film has one. Maybe the computer expert will be really good at abacuses or something.

Fukunaga is co-writing the Black Listed script with Dune remake writer Chase Palmer. (Variety)
