Jonathan Tropper, the scribe behind Sean Levy’s The Adam Project and the director’s upcoming Star Wars film, also writes short stories from time to time. And according to Deadline, he sold one of those stories, a sci-fi mystery adventure called “The Corsair Code,” to Apple and Wild State, a production company run by actor Chris Hemsworth and his business partner, Ben Grayson.
We don’t have details on Tropper’s tale other than it’s “high-octane” and falls in the “sci-fi mystery adventure” camp. A corsair, for those not up on archaic pirate terms, is a name for a pirate ship and/or a privateer (aka a nation-backed pirate), both of which were all the rage a few hundred years ago. Will Hemsworth, who is on board to star in the film as well as produce, be a sci-fi version of a corsair? Or will he need to crack a code to find a certain corsair’s buried treasure? Or does the upcoming feature involve none of these things, meaning the title reveals truly nothing about the story’s contents?
We’ll likely have to wait a bit to get answers to the questions above. The project is still very much in its early days, so no news yet on who will co-star with Hemsworth, who you can see in Furiosa (pictured above) or the Thor film of your choice. We also don’t know when the movie will go into production, much less when it will make its way to your eyeballs via Apple TV+.
