John Krasinski Announces His Next Film; Sci-Fi Thriller Life on Mars

With John Krasinski’s horror-thriller A Quiet Place getting all the love and box-office money this past weekend, I’ve been awaiting news of his next film – which I (kinda) hoped would be A Quiet Place 2

But anyhow, today we did learn via THR that Krasinski has a new film in the works; a sci-fi thriller called Life on Mars with Platinum Dunes producers Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller.

Krasinski, who found the story and brought it to Platinum Dunes, will also be a producer on the project, alongside Allyson Seeger, but is not expected to star in the film.

The adaptation of Cecil Castellucci’s short story “We Have Always Lived on Mars”, which centers on a woman who can breathe the air on Mars, doesn’t currently have a screenwriter officially attached to the film, but Paramount is already in negotiations to pick up the flick one it’s finished.

Are you excited for this new film from John Krasinski? Make sure to let us know what you think in the comments below or on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram!

Synopsis:

A woman who is among a handful of descendants of a Martian colony long-abandoned by Earth following a cataclysm. The woman one day finds she can breathe the air on Mars, upending her world and that of her fellow colonists.
