Jennifer Garner and Zoe Saldana will co-star with Ryan Reynolds in the Netflix action-adventure The Adam Project directed by Shawn Levy. Jonathan Tropper wrote the script with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger, who produced for Skydance. Levy will also be producing for 21 Laps Entertainment and Reynolds, who will be producing through his Maximum Effort banner.
The details of the plot are kept under wraps, except that it contains a time travel element. The film is one of the few films that Netflix landed earlier this year when studios like Paramount pondered their future plan in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Netflix felt like the perfect home as Reynolds was just wrapping up his second film, Red Notice, while Levy made Netflix his home after the massive success of his Stranger Things series.
