From Comics to Netflix: The "Black Hole" Adaptation
Schoenbrun is embarking on an adaptation of Charles Burns’ celebrated comic book series "Black Hole," which they will both write and direct. This project, a collaborative effort with New Regency and Netflix, has already secured a straight-to-series order from the streaming service. "Black Hole" revolves around a group of Seattle teenagers who suffer bizarre genetic mutations stemming from a sexually transmitted disease known as "the Bug." This narrative fits seamlessly into Schoenbrun’s artistic vision, which often melds elements of teenage angst with genre film horror.
Diverse Projects Across Multiple Mediums
Following the success of "I Saw the TV Glow," Schoenbrun has been involved in several major projects across different mediums. Their third feature film, "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma," is currently in post-production. The film features a storyline about a director tasked with rebooting a dated slasher movie, starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson. This project promises to be another intriguing exploration of familiar cinematic tropes seen through a new lens.
Furthermore, Schoenbrun is also preparing to release their debut novel, "Public Access Afterworld." Initially conceived as a television series, the novel was later transformed into a book format and was picked up by Random House’s Hogarth imprint. Schoenbrun describes "Public Access Afterworld" as the culmination of their "screen trilogy," which includes their earlier films. The novel promises a rich narrative, blending literary fantasy with elements of sci-fi and horror, tracing the eerie transmissions of a mysterious television network that impacts a diverse range of characters across different eras.
A Fresh Narrative Approach
"Public Access Afterworld" offers a compelling synopsis. The story interweaves the lives of two teenage friends in a suburban New York basement, a housewife during the dwindling days of World War II, and a young trans content moderator at a corporation reminiscent of YouTube. These characters are drawn into the strange and haunting world of Public Access Afterworld, positioning them as unlikely heroes in a narrative about identity, conspiracy, and the hidden histories of American entertainment. The novel is set to be a profound exploration of the narratives that shape our lives and our understanding of the world.
As Jane Schoenbrun continues to expand their creative repertoire, audiences can look forward to unique and engaging stories that challenge conventional storytelling and offer new perspectives on familiar themes. Whether through film, television, or literature, Schoenbrun’s works are sure to resonate with a wide audience, eager for fresh and innovative content.
