Amazon Studios has stepped up for Deadtown, an Entertainment One and Grey Matter Entertainment script that will be developed for a pilot by Shauna Cross. Deadtown is an adaptation of the Catherynne M. Valente novella The Refrigerator Monologues and the hourlong premise is a blueprint to create an original superhero universe set in the modern era with an underlying theme of female empowerment.
Five recently-dead women meet in Deadtown, a purgatory where they discover that their entire lives were merely in service to the superhero men they happened to cross paths with, resulting in each of their deaths. Or in comic book terms, they were “refrigerated”–frozen out of the story once they provided emotional backstory for the men. Until now. They start to discover their own powers, tell their sides of the narrative, and decide to write their own damn stories. And a group of seemingly ordinary women discover their own true power. It’s a subversive, kick-ass exploration of what it means for women to find their inner power – and use it.

环球新片《太空歌剧》找到编剧：作品曾登上2017年好莱坞剧本黑名单的上升中编剧Joe Epstein。
该片是部科幻音乐片，设定一听就很high：外太空选秀大赛，在宇宙中飙歌——改编自Catherynne M. Valente的同名小说，有《银河系漫游指南》的画风，讲述一个世纪以前的外太空某星系，战争让那里分崩离析，智能太空生活几乎被颠覆。之后一项奇怪的传统诞生，能让所有被遗弃的人振作起来，以和平、团结和互相理解的精神将破碎的世界团结在一起：
每一个周期，星系的各种族都会聚集在一起，参加一场盛大的比赛“Metagalactic Grand Prix”，该比赛既是一场角斗，也是选美大赛，又是华丽的演唱会，亦是过去战争的延续。参赛者们唱歌、跳舞，而这个游戏赌注极高，每个人都被迫参加，胜者会受到无上尊敬，败者将面临整个种族的灭绝。
地球人类最新发现了这个星系，希望能找到外交、武器、虫洞、外星人，却只发现了闪亮、口红、电吉他。来自伦敦的音乐人Decibel Jones和Absolute Zeroes被选中，代表地球参赛，他们将踏上宇宙最棒的舞台，人类的命运，就此掌握在他们的摇滚天赋中。
马克·普拉特(《爱乐之城》《比利·林恩的中场战事》)和科林·特雷沃罗(《侏罗纪世界》)等担任制片人。
