Ghosted is written by Deadpool and Zombieland writing duo Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, who successfully pitched the project to Skydance. Dexter Fletcher (Rocketman) will direct. Further details about its plot are still being kept under wraps, but it’s being likened to 1984’s classic romantic action-adventure Romancing the Stone.
The project will be produced by Evans, Reese, and Wernick along with Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger, as well as Jules Daly. De Armas will executive produce. This marks Evans’ latest collaboration with Apple after starring in last year’s Defending Jacob series.
