Director Spike Jonze hasn’t directed a feature film since 2013’s Her, but according to a recent report, the director is working on a Netflix series that could feature Joaquin Phoenix.
Spike Jonze reportedly working on a sci-fi series
Details of the series first popped up in a report from Puck last year, which noted that Jonze has been “quietly working” on a series for Netflix that’s described as “lavish.” The report mentions that the series hasn’t been announced yet but does have a writers room put together.
In a separate report from What’s On Netflix, they note that the project will be a limited series set in the genre of sci-fi. Alongside that, they note that Jonze is reported to be writing and directing the project, which is described as being “on track to be one of the most expensive shows in Netflix’s history.”
The report goes on to mention that Phoenix is being considered for the project, and has been offered the lead role in it should he choose. If Phoenix accepts, this will reunite the actor and director, who coincidentally previously worked together on Jonze’s last directorial efforts in Her.
According to insider DanielRPK, Jonze is also working on an animated series for Netflix, although it doesn’t have any connection to the sci-fi series.
