Oscar-winning filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow has set up her latest feature project over at Netflix, announced The Hollywood Reporter, a sci-fi film titled Aurora. This marks the director’s first feature film since 2017’s Detroit, starring John Boyega.

Aurora adapts the upcoming novel by David Koepp, the veteran screenwriter we can thank for Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, Panic Room and Spider-Man. Koepp will also write the screenplay for the adaptation.

The film will follow the events of a solar storm that knocks out most of humanity’s power grids, creating a catastrophic worldwide power crisis that causes a collapse of the social order. The narrative focuses on the personal story of a divorced mother, Aubrey, who must now do all she can to protect her teenage child, including reconnecting with her estranged brother Thom – a wealthy Silicon Valley CEO who owns a luxurious desert bunker built precisely for such an occasion.

Koepp’s book is due to release June 7th, with a blurb from Stephen King labelling Aurora a “real page-turner”.
