While moving on from directing two very well received PLANET OF THE APES movies to taking the helm of THE BATMAN, director Matt Reeves also found the time to serve as executive producer on a sci-fi series called Tales from the Loop, which is coming to Amazon Prime on April 3rd.
Inspired by the art of Simon Stålenhag, this show will explore
the town and people who live above The Loop, a machine built to unlock and explore the mysteries of the universe — making things possible that were previously relegated only to science fiction. In this fantastical, mysterious town, poignant human tales are told that bare universal emotional experiences, while drawing on the intrigue of genre storytelling.
The cast includes Rebecca Hall, Paul Schneider, and Jonathan Pryce.
The series was written and created by Nathaniel Halpern. Mark Romanek directed the pilot episode and serves as executive producer with Halpern, Reeves, Adam Kassan, Rafi Crohn, Mattias Montero, Samantha Taylor Pickett, and Adam Berg.
Tales from the Loop looks like it could be something special. This is one I'm going to have to check out.
Stålenhag is co-executive producer on the show. If you're not familiar with his artwork, the art he has created for this series can give you an idea of what he does.
