J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules, the producing duo behind BoulderLight Pictures whose credits include Companion and Barbarian, are looking to deliver another twisty sci-fi thriller in Cut Outs, Deadline reports today.
Cut Outs is an original sci-fi thriller spec script by writer Isaac Louis García.
Naturally, plot details are under wraps at this time, but the expectation is that it’ll follow in the same unpredictable vein as BoulderLight’s recent genre hits. Companion, starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid, was released in January after a mysterious marketing campaign that kept things close to the vest. Zach Cregger’s feature debut, Barbarian, took a similar approach in preserving its narrative surprises before release.
The BoulderLight team is also behind Cregger’s follow-up, Weapons, releasing this summer, as well as Jaume Collet-Serra’s Play Dead and Rob Savage’s Molepeople. Not only does this signal that BoulderLight is keeping busy with their genre slate, but that their focus remains on producing original features. That makes Cut Outs instantly intriguing, even without a shred of plot details.
Cut Outs scribe García has worked in multiple writers’ rooms, including Peacock’s “Angelyne“ and J.J. Abrams’ upcoming crime thriller series “Duster.”
Tracy Rosenblum will oversee the project for BoulderLight Pictures.
Stay tuned for more on Cut Outs as new details emerge.
