As a seasoned gamer who’s had the pleasure of navigating through countless narrative-driven games, I must say, the plot for Remarkably Bright Creatures sounds like an intriguing adventure straight out of a unique indie title. The idea of an unlikely friendship between a widow and an octopus, with the octopus holding the key to a decades-old mystery, is both heartwarming and thought-provoking.
Acclaimed actress Sally Field is in talks to star in the main role for Netflix’s upcoming drama titled “Remarkably Bright Creatures,” which is adapted from Shelby Van Pelt’s well-received 2022 novel of the same name. This project is helmed by Olivia Newman, who previously directed “Where the Crawdads Sing.”
If the agreement goes through, I’ll be stepping into a role as a widowed gamer forming an unusual bond with an octopus. My latest project was last year’s 80 for Brady comedy, where I shared the screen with the legendary Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Rita Moreno. You might recognize me from my acclaimed performances in films like Norma Rae, Places in the Heart, Steel Magnolias, Forrest Gump, and many others.
What is Remarkably Bright Creatures about?
Noteworthy: Remarkably Bright Creatures is set to be helmed by Newman, who is collaborating with John Whittington on the screenplay. The movie will be a joint production of David Levine, Bryan Unkeless, and Peter Craig. Tony Lipp and Alyssa Rodrigues serve as executive producers.
In the summary of this book, we’re told that after Tova Sullivan’s husband passed away, she took up night shifts at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, cleaning and organizing. Losing her eighteen-year-old son Erik who vanished on a boat in Puget Sound thirty years ago still haunts her, but keeping busy has always been her way of dealing with grief. At the aquarium, Tova meets Marcellus, a large Pacific octopus known for his grumpiness. However, he seems to understand more than anyone suspects and forms an extraordinary bond with Tova. Using his keen intellect, Marcellus deduces what happened on the night Erik disappeared. Now, Marcellus must use all his cunning as an invertebrate to uncover the truth about Erik’s disappearance before it’s too late.
