Shawn Levy will direct the original sci-fi drama Somewhere Out There for Netflix. The project stems from a spec script by Max Taxe that the streamer acquired in a bidding war.
Levy is also producing the film through his 21 Laps banner alongside Dan Levine. The story centers on a grieving father who sends a message into space after losing his wife and receives a response from something out there. It draws from the emotional style of Arrival and The Adam Project.
