O.G. Avengers Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans are reuniting and going to space! Well, not exactly. But the movie stars are teaming up for a buzzy new project about the Space Race during the mid- to late-20th century. Titled Project Artemis, the film will be directed by yet another A-lister: Jason Bateman.
Plot details about Project Artemis are still hush-hush, but the script was penned by Rose Gilroy, a 28-year-old model/actress who also happens to be the daughter of Rene Russo and filmmaker Dan Gilroy. Basically, the star power of this project is unmatched.
It’s no wonder, then, that Apple dropped over $100 million on this hot movie package. It’s a major purchase for the studio, which is still riding the high of its Best Picture win for CODA at Sunday night’s Oscars. It was a historic night for, um, a number of reasons, including Apple TV+ becoming the first streaming service to snag a Best Picture statuette.
