Set mostly in an underground cellar, a teenage girl wakes up there after a car accident. A caretaker tells her a nuclear attack has devastated society and forces her to stay inside. She begins to plan her escape.
Dan Casey penned the most recent draft of the script which originated with Josh Campbell and Matt Stuecken.
Production begins this Fall.
Trachtenberg has been attached to several movies including the long-gestating film adaptation of the acclaimed Brian K. Vaughan comic book "Y: The Last Man"
Trachtenberg helmed the film short "Portal: No Escape," was hired to direct the project ditching the previous script draft from Carl Ellsworth--Using instead a new script draft by Matthew Federman and Stephen Scaia.
Both D.J. Caruso ("Disturbia") and Louis Leterrier ("The Incredible Hulk") were previously attached to helm the film while Shia Labeouf and singer Alicia Keys were linked to star way back when...
New Line Cinema has to get the film into production within the next few months or the rights revert back and the project has to be set up all over again at another studio.
Since Trachtenberg is now committed to make "Valencia" as his first film, any 'Y' film is still many years away.
