Stranger Thingsย andย Free Guy‘s Shawn Levy directed The Adam Project with a script from Jonathan Tropper, T.S. Nowlin, Jennifer Flackett, and Mark Levin.ย The Adam Projectย is heavily influenced by 1980s films likeย The Gooniesย andย E.T., which Reynolds recently spoke about while chatting with The Hollywood Reporter.

“I loved that Netflix positionedย The Adam Projectย like that. They love the movie the way we love the movie,” Reynolds said of the Netflix’s big Super Bowl movie ad. “It’s been such a labor of love for myself and Shawn Levy from the jump. I’m grateful that Netflix has a commitment to making movies like this, original stories based on nothing more than an idea, and we get to bring them to life. Especially films with this tone that โ€“ and I say this in a good way โ€“ is a little bit old-fashioned with an ’80s wish-fulfillment, meaning something amazing or even supernatural happens to a kid but he’s home by dinner, and his parents have no clue. It’s a type of old-school, warm and nostalgic filmmaking that I love.”

The Adam Projectย arrives on Netflix on March 11th.
