Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, the married couple whose real-life story inspired their hit film The Big Sick, are teaming up to adapt the screenplay for The Doubtful Guest.
Double Dreams production of The Doubtful Guest places another big film on their plate, as the company is already working on some pretty big properties.
The Doubtful Guest tells the story of mysterious penguin-like creatures who arrive unannounced at a family’s home and cause nothing but chaos.
Gordon and Nanjiani will also serve as executive producers for the film, with Andy and Barbara Muschietti producing the film alongside Dani Bernfeld.
