That sounds exactly the kind of strange romance that is perfect for Michel Gondry, who gave us the unique but tragic romance of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, and the quirky French love story in The Science of Sleep. Gondry’s last feature film was the French comng-of-age film Microbe & Gasoline, though he’s kept busy with short films and episodes of Kidding on Showtime. My big question is this: will he bring in is penchant for unique practical special effects using various in-camera tricks, or will he rely on modern visual effects technology?

Scripting As She Climbed Across the Table will be Joe Penhall, the creator of Netflix’s crime drama Mindhunter. Leave it to the guy who got inside the mind of serial killers to figure out how to personify a black hole enough to bring it into a love triangle with a man and woman.
