The Spanish writer has penned the dark script 478, with Arnold Schwarzenegger aligned to star in the film.
Gullon is best known for his exceptional work on the Denis Villenueve-directedEnemy, an adaptation of the Jose Saramago classic novel The Double that Jake Gyllenhaal starred in.
Darren Aronofsky’s Protozoa is producing and the aim is to shoot in the fall.

It is much more subtle than that — a real character piece more than an action film and gives Schwarzenegger a chance to show the chops he displayed on Maggie.
CAA will represent the film’s domestic distribution rights.
