The director of the classic sci-fi "Back to the Future" returns to direct a new sci-fi thriller

The Oscar-winning film "Back to the Future" is a sci-fi masterpiece in the late 1980s. It pioneered the time travel drama and inspired many excellent works in various fields in later generations. According to an exclusive report by The Hollywood Reporter, Robert Zemeckis, the director of "Back to the Future", has entered the final stage of negotiations with Warner Bros. and is ready to return to the front line to direct the new sci-fi thriller "Ares".

The film will be written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet, whose most recent representative work is Marvel's "Captain America". She also adapted part of the script for the 2018 reboot of "Tomb Raider".

The Hollywood Reporter said that the story of "God of War" will redefine the film genre. It tells the story of an astronaut who crash-lands in the African desert. On his journey to find his family, he learns that his mission is actually part of a larger conspiracy, and he may be carrying a shocking secret that can change the world forever.

God of War is actually one of the two projects Zemeckis is currently preparing, the other is a live-action version of Pinocchio. As the creator of classics, Zemeckis will receive a lot of attention no matter which project he works on, and The Hollywood Reporter is not sure which project will be officially launched first.
