As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for books-turned-movies and a deep appreciation for the talents of Sally Field, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming Netflix adaptation of “Remarkably Bright Creatures.” With Academy Award-winning actress Sally Field possibly taking on the lead role, under the direction of Olivia Newman (known for her work on First Match and Where the Crawdads Sing), this promises to be a captivating tale that will tug at my heartstrings.
It’s clear that many people enjoy seeing books come to life on screen as movie adaptations. It seems that Netflix shares this sentiment, as they’ve just announced a film adaptation of the charming mystery novel “Remarkably Bright Creatures” written by Shelby Van Pelt. Here are all the exciting details!
2x Academy Award-winning actress Sally Field is said to be considering a role in an upcoming Netflix movie based on the acclaimed octopus book. Known for her recent work in the sports comedy film “80 for Brady,” she was joined by fellow esteemed actresses Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Rita Moreno.
Olivia Newman, a renowned American filmmaker, has agreed to direct a movie adaptation based on a screenplay she’s co-writing with John Whittington. Newman is celebrated for her work in writing and directing the Netflix drama film “First Match” and the mystery drama “Where the Crawdads Sing.” Meanwhile, Whittington is recognized for his collaboration in scripting the action-adventure comedy film “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” and its upcoming sequel.
As a gamer, I’m thrilled to be part of the team that’s bringing this adaption to life, with David Levine leading the way through Anonymous Content. Joining forces with me are Bryan Unkeless, known for shows like “The Watcher” and “Mike”, and Peter Craig, who has worked on hit movies like “Top Gun: Maverick”, “The Mother”, and “The Batman”. Notably, Craig is also Field’s eldest son. Overseeing the project as executive producers are Tony Lipp from Anonymous Content and Alyssa Rodrigues.
In this new literary work by Van Pelt, we find the critically acclaimed bestseller focusing on an unusual bond that develops. This bond forms between a custodian at an aquarium who is struggling with grief following her husband’s death and the massive Pacific octopus residing in its tanks.
Tova Sullivan is mourning the loss of her spouse and grappling with the mystery surrounding her son who went missing 30 years ago. During her work as a night-shift employee at an aquarium, she develops a bond with the grumpy octopus named Marcellus. As their friendship deepens, Marcellus decides to help Tova unravel the enigma behind her son’s disappearance.
It appears that Field might end up playing the main character, Tova Sullivan, should things fall into place. Yet, it’s important to note that the character’s name could be altered during the adaptation process.
