Koepp will also write the film’s screenplay, which will join his long list of credits including “Mission: Impossible” and “Jurassic Park.” The novel “Aurora” is set to be released on June 7 by Harper Collins.

Bigelow, who is repped by CAA, has not directed a feature since her 2017 film “Detroit,” which follows events associated with the 1967 race riots in the city. Since then, she’s directed an Apple commercial and a short film, but “Aurora” is the first confirmation of an upcoming feature from the Academy Award winner. Bigelow also made waves with her 2012 film “Zero Dark Thirty,” which earned a best picture nomination.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, which first broke the news of the project, “Aurora” will be produced Greg Shapiro, who also produced “The Hurt Locker,” and Gavin Polone, who has worked with Koepp on films including “Stir of Echoes” and “Secret Window.” Koepp is repped by CAA and Myman Greenspan.
