Murderbot Sci-Fi Thriller Series Gets Excellent Lead Actor

Chris and Paul Weitz are writing, directing, and producing Murderbot through their Depth of Field production company. Chris Weitz is no stranger to the sci-fi genre having been one of the writers on Rogue One—the only Disney Star Wars film to be universally loved by the fandom. His brother Paul, on the other hand, has more experience writing comedies like About a Boy and Nutty Professor II: The Klumps.Together, the Weitz brothers should have no problem presenting a version of Murderbot that’s funny and thrilling at the same time. The brothers will be getting a helping hand from genre veteran David S. Goyer, showrunner on another Apple TV+ series Foundation. Goyer, the writer behind Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, will serve as executive producer on Murderbot.
