The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/heat-vision\/warner-bros-nabs-sci-fi-213108  \"><em>Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a> is citing unnamed sources describing the plot as &#8220;an adventure set on another planet with twists.&#8221; So I guess that clears that up.<\/p>\n<p>If Rhodes&#8217; name doesn&#8217;t sound familiar to you don&#8217;t worry. Previously, the writer&#8217;s only other credit was the 2009 low-budget action flick <strong>Contract Killers<\/strong>, which he also directed.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Hollywood Reporter<\/em> also states that Rhodes has worked as an editor on a couple of short film projects. And while story construction between a short film and a feature is different, I can&#8217;t help but think that maybe that experience informed his writing.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no word yet as to whether Warners is going to further develop the script or start shopping it around to potential directors and cast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">The studio picks up a science-fiction adventure.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2011\/07\/20\/warners-picks-up-spec-script-second-son\/\" title=\"Warners Picks Up Spec Script SECOND SON\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[3945,3944],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-15004","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-justin-rhodes","8":"tag-second-son"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15004\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15004"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=15004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
