"Midnight Special and Destroyer outfit Automatik is lining up a feature version of buzzed-about sci-fi short Construct from Thor: The Dark World VFX supervisor Kevin Margo.
La La Land producer Fred Berger and Midnight Special producer Brian Kavanaugh-Jones will produce the feature, which will tell the story of working man Aiden Connolly whose robotic son is kidnapped by a desperate father working with a rogue group of AIs in a world where robots represent the lowest socio-economic class. To rescue his son, Aiden must navigate the violent cultural divide by inhabiting their mechanical form.
The project has buy-in from tech firms including Nvidia, Google, Chaos Group, Optitrack and Boxx. Script is being penned by Marcos Gabriel with Nightfox financing development and Alexander & Lee’s Brandon Millan also producing. Embedded in this story is the short on which the film is being based.
Margo has been a member of Tim Miller’s (Deadpool) animation and VFX house Blur Studios for a dozen years, working on Thor 2, Batman: Arkham Knight, Halo 4, Call Of Duty and Destiny 2 and the Deadpool test footage which helped trigger the film’s greenlight. Construct will mark his feature directorial debut."
