The dynamic duo of Michael B. Jordan and writer-director Ryan Coogler is set to captivate Hollywood once again with their upcoming collaboration on a mysterious project, cryptically referred to as “a secret movie.” Amidst the buzz surrounding this enigmatic venture, details have emerged about the secrecy shrouding the film and the anticipation building within the industry.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ryan Coogler has not only written the script for the untitled film but is also taking the helm as the director. Adding an extra layer of intrigue, prospective buyers eager to learn about the project had to make a pilgrimage to William Morris Endeavor’s (WME) Beverly Hills offices to access and review the closely guarded script.
The project will be produced by Ryan Coogler’s production company, Proximity Media, which he co-founded in 2021 with Sev Ohanian and his wife, Zinzi Coogler. The company has quickly become a force in the industry, and its involvement in this secretive venture only adds to the anticipation surrounding the film.
While the project’s details remain largely concealed, industry insiders speculate that it encompasses various “genre” components, with possibilities ranging from sci-fi to horror to fantasy. Additionally, rumors hint at the inclusion of a period component, heightening curiosity about the narrative and thematic elements.
Last week, Ryan Coogler met with interested parties to present his creative vision for the undisclosed project. Following initial script reviews, the director plans to embark on personal visits to prospective buyers, aiming to secure production commitments. This hands-on approach emphasizes the level of anticipation and interest surrounding this clandestine cinematic endeavor.
As Hollywood eagerly awaits the unveiling of Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler’s mystery project, the veil of secrecy only deepens the intrigue. With a talented duo at the helm and the enigmatic nature of the film fueling speculation, industry enthusiasts are left eagerly anticipating the cinematic revelation that this dynamic collaboration promises to deliver.
