Collider reports that Matt Charman is set to make his feature directorial debut with Mothership, a sci-fi adventure starring Berry as a woman whose husband mysteriously vanishes from their rural farm. Here is the logline, per MRC Film:
Charman will write and direct the film which comes from MRC Film and Netflix. Berry, who is still waiting for her own directorial debut Bruised to receive a release date from Netflix, will executive produce Mothership with Danny Stillman. Also producing are Fred Berger (La La Land, Bad Education, Destroyer) and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (Midnight Special, Outside the Wire) of Automatik.
Production for Mothership is expected to start this spring.
Meanwhile, Berry is reportedly on the lookout for her next directorial effort, which she hopes to center around a strong female protagonist of color. Berry’s Bruised, which stars the director as a former MMA fighter struggling to regain custody of her son and return to her athletic career, was acquired by Netflix for $20 million following its world premiere at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival.
