Warner Bros. has been developing the project for many years. Screenwriter Zach Dean wrote an early script in 2014, and Tony Gilroy wrote the most recent draft.

Jordan will produce Methuselah through Outlier Society, a production company he founded in 2016. He will do this alongside Heyday’s David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford.

Outlier Society was one of the first companies to publicly adopt the inclusion rider. It signed a first-look film deal with Warner Bros. Studios and also a first-look television deal with Amazon Studios earlier this year. There are a number of projects to look forward to. Some are an adaption of Red Wolf, WWII action drama The Liberators, 61st Street for AMC, and the OWN drama series David Makes Man from Tarell Alvin McCraney.
