Amy Adams looks to star in Story of Your Life. It is the tale of an alien landing and the linguist who makes first contact.
Last year, Amy Adams made first contact with an alien being from another world whose intentions were as clear as the red cape on his back. However for her next project, a follow-up to the Oscar nominated turn she enjoyed in American Hustle, Adams will be dealing with extraterrestrials of a far more ambiguous purpose.
As first reported by Deadline, Adams is in talks to star in the lead part of Denis Villeneuve’s (Prisoners) next film, Story of Your Life. Adapted from a short story by science fiction author Ted Chiang, and from a script by Eric Heisserer, the film offers a slightly more thrilling mystery than most sci-fi invasion stories when a highly respected linguist (Adams) is called in after aliens land on Earth. She is requested to start a dialogue with the visitors and to ascertain whether they are friend or foe. As she speaks with them, incidents from her own life become crucial via flashback in the telling of these current events. The movie is being produced by FilmNation Entertainment and 21 Laps’ Shawn Levy.
