Development titles revealed as sci-fi Identicals [pictured] picked up by Arrow Films for UK.
London-based Hot Property Films has revealed details of a new sci-fi project in development and a UK deal for psychological thriller Identicals (aka Brand New-u).
The production company, founded by producer Janine Marmot and BAFTA-winning writer-director Simon Pummell, has begun work on Piper. The sci-fi story is set on an abandoned space station and explores what happens when artificial intelligence creates new links between human and animal.
This is on top of the previously announced Dogfight, based a short story by cult sci-fi writer William Gibson, co-written with Michael Swanwick, that will be directed by Pummell. The film centres on a fighter who struggles to make good in a future world of illegal ‘simulated sensorium’ boxing and holographic gaming.

Nobel Prize-winning author and screenwriter Orhan Pamuk plans to novelise his screenplay for Grant Gee’s Innocence Of Memories.
