Academy Award winner Damien Chazelle is back at it again!
A project written by Chazelle 4 years before his breakthrough hit, Whiplash has been picked up by project Motion Picture Capital, Route One and Oceanside Media titled The Claim. Route One picked up the script, which appeared on the annual Black List in 2010. Following Chazelle’s historic year with La La Land, the production company is moving forward with the project with Scott Clayton’s Oceanside and Motion Picture Capital in tow.
The Claim follows a single father with a criminal background as he uncovers the whereabouts of his kidnapped daughter while fighting the mysterious claims of another couple who insist that the child is theirs. The Claim will be released in 2018, the same year Chazelle’s Neil Armstrong bio-pic will release.
