Matt Ross, the actor-turned-director who recently directed the acclaimed Captain Fantastic, has lined up a new project in the science fiction thriller Tomorrow and Tomorrow. the movie is based on the original novel by Tom Sweterlitsch.
First published in 2014 by Penguin Books, Tomorrow and Tomorrow is officially described as follows:
Pittsburgh is John Dominic Blaxton’s home even though the city has been uninhabitable ruin and ash for the past decade. The Pittsburgh Dominic lives in is the Archive, an immersive virtual reconstruction of the city’s buildings, parks, and landmarks, as well as the people who once lived there. Including Dominic’s wife and unborn child.
When he’s not reliving every recorded moment with his wife in an endless cycle of desperation and despair, Dominic investigates mysterious deaths preserved in the Archive before Pittsburgh’s destruction. His latest cold case is the apparent murder of a woman whose every appearance is deliberately being deleted from the Archive.
Obsessed with uncovering this woman’s identity and what happened to her, Dominic follows a trail from the virtual world into reality. But finding the truth buried deep within an illusion means risking his sanity and his very existence…
In addition to both writing and directing Captain Fantastic (currently nominated for an Academy Award), Ross is a regular on HBO’s Silicon Valley, playing the antagonistic Gavin Belsom.
