Bigelow has officially signed on to direct and produce the film adaptation of Aurora, based on acclaimed scribe David Keopp’s upcoming survival thriller novel.
Nearly five years since the theatrical release of the crime drama Detroit, Oscar winner Kathryn Bigelow is finally making her feature directorial comeback in the form of a drama film for Netflix.
Bigelow is best known for her work on 2008’s The Hurt Locker and 2012’s Zero Dark Thirty, with the first one winning her an Oscar for Best Director.
Netflix’s Aurora film will center around characters who are coping with the collapse of the social order, set against a catastrophic worldwide power crisis.
