The accomplished director David Robert Mitchell, known for his debut film “It Follows” in 2015, has been selective in his projects, focusing on quality over quantity throughout his decade-long career. After directing the unconventional “Under the Silver Lake” in 2018, Mitchell is back in the director’s chair at the behest of J.J. Abrams for a mysterious production titled “Oak Street’s End.”
For his third feature film, Mitchell has ventured into the realm of sci-fi blockbusters, reminiscent of the Bad Robot productions like “Cloverfield.” The plot details of this family drama, drawing inspiration from “The Twilight Zone,” remain scarce, but the film stars Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor.
The story follows two parents with two children, navigating a time-travel adventure that transports them back to the prehistoric era, specifically the Jurassic period. Formerly known as “Flowervale Street,” “Oak Street’s End” promises a gripping tale of survival as the Platt family must stick together in an unfamiliar and hostile environment.
The collaboration between David Robert Mitchell and J.J. Abrams is intriguing, with the film set to hit theaters on August 12th.
