Range Media Partners has signed filmmaker Kat Wood for representation.
The U.K.-born and L.A.-based director and screenwriter was a BBC broadcast journalist before making her mark on Hollywood. Wood, who was named to Screen International’s “Stars of Tomorrow” list, has shown her proficiency as a screenwriter, setting up a high-profile genre feature every year for the last six years.
Last August, Thunder Road Pictures optioned “Enigma,” Wood’s original contemporary supernatural spy thriller. The film – which Wood will executive produce — follows British spy Emma Taylor who is suddenly tasked with hiding a mysterious and dangerous artifact that falls into her hands. The project has been described as a “reverse Indiana Jones,” meaning that the story is about someone whose job is focused on “hiding rather than finding,” thus turning traditional adventure film tropes on their head.

Exclusive: Basil Iwanyk’s Thunder Road Pictures has optioned the original contemporary supernatural spy thriller, Enigma, from scribe Kat Wood.
A cross between Bond and Tomb: Raider, Enigma follows Emma Taylor, a British spy, who is suddenly tasked with hiding a mysterious and dangerous artifact that falls into her hands so the world never finds it again. It’s a spy pic where nuclear codes are not at stake. Unlike other adventure pics, Enigma tells the unique story of the person whose job it is to hide precious artefacts, and set traps, diversions, red herrings so it’s never found again.
Wood is also serving as EP.
Wood was named one of Screen International’s “UK Stars of Tomorrow”. She most recently sold her original pitch Fuel to Amazon with Misha Green and Jurnee Smollett producing, and the latter attached to star. Previously, Wood wrote Ruby, an original screenplay which...

“Bullet Train” producer and 87North co-founder Kelly McCormick’s guiding principle in filmmaking has been “finding the truth in fiction,” a response to earlier documentary work, where “it was not uncommon to twist stories to make them more entertaining.” So she pivoted to producing content that packs a different sort of emotional — and physical — punch.
McCormick’s latest film, “Bullet Train,” directed by her husband and 87North partner David Leitch, stars Brad Pitt as a hitman who finds himself on a snatch-and-grab job that grows more complicated by the minute. Pitt leads an ensemble cast, including Sandra Bullock, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry and Bad Bunny, in a wild ride that showcases the company’s signature blend of hyper-violence and heart.
“I look at action as melodrama,” McCormick explains. “It’s about how to punctuate the highs higher and the lows lower with physicality as much as with dialogue.

Exclusive: In competitive bidding, Amazon Studios is in negotiations for Fuel, a pitch for an action vehicle movie for Lovecraft Country star Jurnee Smollett. She is attached to produce with Lovecraft Country EP Misha Green.
The script will be written by Kat Wood. The plan is to develop this as a vehicle for Smollett to play a wheel woman, a fresh take on a familiar character. The film is an action-packed female empowerment story that will subvert the relationship between cars and masculinity. The heroine is a getaway driver who is coerced into working for a criminal and breaking all the rules she set out for herself.
Wood, who’ll be exec producer, has set up numerous high-profile projects including Envoy and Genus to Amy Pascal’s Pascal Pictures, Diplomatic Courier to Skydance Media, Ruby to 87North and Amazon.

The 16th annual The Black List was announced this morning by Desus Nice and The Kid Mero, and below are the rankings of the year’s hot unproduced (or on the verge of being produced) screenplays. Leading this year’s list with 29 votes is Sophie Dawson’s Headhunter, which follows a high-functioning cannibal who selects his victims based on their Instagram popularity. However, he finds his habits shaken by a man who wants to be eaten.
Many of the scripts on the list have moved forward and are in the works including Randall Green’s coming-of-age comedy The Black Belt (15 votes), which has Chris Pratt starring and producing, for Monarch Media. Meanwhile, Taraji P. Henson is set to star in and direct Cat Wilkins’ Two-Faced (25 votes) for Bron Studios. This will mark the Oscar nominee’s first time in the director’s chair for a feature.

Exclusive: Amazon is in negotiations to pick up the screenplay Ruby, a female assassin action feature by Kat Wood which I hear is going for around six figures.
87North is coming aboard to produce Ruby with the label’s Kelly McCormick, Annie Marter and David Leitch producing.
The story, I hear, is in the spirit of the Geena Davis-Samuel L. Jackson 1996 cult action femme pic Long Kiss Goodnight, which followed an amnesiatic schoolteacher who sets out on a journey to find out who she is with the help of a private detective until they uncover a dark conspiracy.
Wood grew up in Yarm, a quiet town in North East England, and is a former BBC broadcast journalist. Her sci-fi script Envoy, which we first told you about, sold to Amy Pascal’s Pascal Pictures in 2017, with her sci-fi pitch Genus, which we also first reported, sold to Pascal...

Exclusive: In a competitive situation, Skydance has landed Diplomatic Courier, an action pitch that will be written by Kat Wood. Deal was mid to high six figures and Skydance moved aggressively to take it off the table before other studios bid.
The pitch is for a Jason Bourne-type action film that is set in the world of diplomatic couriers, these highly trained government messengers with diplomatic immunity who travel the world delivering highly confidential packages and materials. Skydance exec Aimee Rivera brought in the projects the exec who championed this project and brought it in.
This is the third original feature project for Wood, a former Earth scientist and journalist for the BBC. Since starting a career as a screenwriter, the UK-based scribe has been named as one of the UK’s rising stars. She previously sold her original sci-fi feature screenplay Envoy to Amy Pascal, and she previously...

Sony and producer Amy Pascal are in early development on a movie adaptation of the Marvel comic Silk, about Korean-American superheroine Cindy Moon, which was created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos.
In the comics, Cindy is a student in Peter Parker’s class who also is bitten by a radioactive spider around the same time as Peter. She gains abilities similar to his, though she is able to shoot webs out of her fingertips, possesses an eidetic memory, and has advanced Spider-Sense (known as Silk Sense) far stronger than Peter’s. She also has less superhuman strength than him but is faster.
While this project will mark the first stand-alone feature for Cindy Moon, it wouldn’t be the first time she appears in the McU. The character was seen in Pascal-produced Spider-Man: Homecoming (played by Tiffany Espensen) as a member of the decathlon team along with Tom Holland’s Peter Parker.

Producer Amy Pascal (Spider-Man: Homecoming) has picked up the rights to a sci-fi thriller called Envoy from screenwriter Kat Wood. The film is said to be a character-driven story that is said to be in the same vein of Arrival and The Day The Earth Stood Still.
According to Deadline, the story follows "an elite military intelligence specialist who jumps at the chance to take part in the selection process to become the first-ever human representative to alien life."
Sounds like it could turn out to be a solid film and I'm curious to know what else the story entails. We really don't have much to go off of, but the initial concept is interesting. It's always interesting to see the different interpretations of extraterrestrial life in the movies.
