What can we expect from The Adam Project?
Levy has form for big-hearted family adventures, having overseen the critically-mauled, but hugely successful Night At The Museum trilogy. He’s also an executive producer onStranger Thingsand has directed a big chunk of the Netflix’s hit drama’s biggest episodes, giving him a real feel for this genre. Sci-fi for the whole family, but with a strong sense of wonder.
The director has talked up some seminal movies in the making of The Adam Project, tellingCollider: “There’s a load of action and really all the things we want from a time travel adventure movie, but it’s ultimately very much a descendant of Frequency and Field of Dreams. And the fun of it is very much kind of Back to the Future-inspired, but the heart of it is more Frequency and Field of Dreams.”
As you’ll have seen in the trailer, the script also offers up plenty of room for Reynolds to be his usual wise-cracking self. Which is always nice.
What is The Adam Project’s release date?
Netflix are usually quite tight-lipped around release dates, but we do have one for this movie.
