It's hard to believe, but in the long history of cinematography, Hollywood has only filmed the legendary novel by H.G. Wells "The Time Machine" twice. While the 1960 film earned a warm welcome in the press and won an Oscar for revolutionary special effects, the 2002 film was crushed by critics and could not recoup its $ 80 million budget. As it became known to the publication Deadline, Dream Factory will make a new attempt to adapt "Time Machine" for the big screen. The composition of the participants in the intriguing film project sets in a positive mood. Three studios - Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures and Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way production company - will take part in the creation of the film. The film will be directed by Andres Muschetti, who over the past few years has become one of the most sought-after directors in Hollywood. In 2013, the Argentinean made a splash with his debut full-length horror film Mama, which earned nearly ten times the $ 15 million budget. Andres then proved that he chooses the scripts carefully, refusing to participate in the creation of the disastrous blockbuster "The Mummy". Instead of building a universe of monsters Universal, he began filming the cult novel by Stephen King "It", the first part of which earned over $ 700 million with a production budget of $ 35 million. After the success of "It" Muschetti began to receive offers to try his hand at new genres. First, he agreed to take over the helm of the film based on the Robotech franchise, and then accepted the invitation to direct the film adaptation of the manga Attack on Titans. Now Andres has added to the list of his directorial projects a film adaptation of perhaps the most famous science fiction work in the history of world literature. According to insiders, Muschetti has already completed the script application for The Time Machine in collaboration with his sister Barbara, who will act as the film's producer. The famous novel by H.G. Wells was published in 1895. Its main character was a brilliant English inventor who went to a distant future, in which humanity was divided into two races - the weak and pampered Eloi and the cruel and heartless Morlocks. Over the past years, Time Machine has clearly not lost its relevance and popularity: at the end of the summer we announced that the British television broadcasting corporation Sky was preparing its adaptation of the book. The company Barbara Muschetti in the production team of the Hollywood film adaptation of "Time Machine" will be Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson ("The Survivor").
