The project, which is still untitled, marks a directorial debut for Randolph, who wrote Fox News drama “Bombshell” and won an Academy Award with Adam McKay for adapted screenplay for “The Big Short.”
SK Global co-CEOs John Penotti and Charlie Corwin made the announcement on Saturday. The film examines the dramatic weeks in China as the medical community confronts a mysterious virus, soon to become a global pandemic. The project is set to film in China along with other international locations. Penotti and Corwin said in a statement, “Charles takes us through an electrifying and revealing drama all of us are living through. His vivid storytelling and insights are at the heart of this narrative. We couldn’t be more pleased to support his vision and directorial debut.”
no
Hollywood can’t fucking help themselves Jesus. Anything for a dollar.
Here come the inevitable bullshit movie versions. I’m sure it won’t be long until some A-lister boards a big budget race against time find the cure yawn fest. People don’t want to relive this shit. We’re still living it.
We're still living through it, and we're about to get a 2nd wave. Jesus. Is there anything Hollywood won't do for a buck?
Dude, fix your glasses
Yeah won’t be watching this shit.
Ill wait for the musical.
Too. Soon.
I dont think he should start writing it yet. Noone knows how it's going to finish yet. Talk about tempting fate.
very grateful a rich person will profit off the pandemic while 20 million americans still haven't gotten their stimulus checks and the CARES act expires late next month
Nobody wants to watch this opportunistic greedy crap concept.
literally no one wants this
Will we be able to see it in a movie theater?
Fix his damn glasses first...
NO ONE wants to watch a movie about Covid-19.
Gtfooh! No one wants to see these Hollywood asshats do any thing related to the nightmare we are living now!!! Nope!!! Assholes!!
Once I actually can go watch a movie, I’m not reliving this sh*t.
From all the memes I've seen, I thought 2020 was a horror movie involving Stephen King and had the possibility of a 'worst year ever' cinematic universe. 😂
Didn't Soderbergh already do this...?
Absolutely not. We’ve had enough. We’re all tired.
My name is Kaycee, I am on a journey to have as many people as possible to read my screenplay, through a follow to support this adventure!
Very very why
Didn't we all get this out of our system early on by watching Contagion?
This sounds like a good idea... in 2040.
How are they going to write a movie if we don’t even know what happened yet fully lol
What are the odds this will all be included?
Will there be a theatrical release or straight to digital? 😂
Embarrassing!
Sounds great.........
Dear Hollywood Creatives and Story Tellers, Nobody who is alive during this pandemic wants to relive the pandemic. So if you’re looking to profit of this time in history and human suffering, don’t expect to make any money for a good twenty years.
Too soon
Why
Nobody wants to watch that shit
Nope -- we're all good and don't want or need to see this any time soon.
er, please screen for xenophobia before releasing
Snoozer
