Abrams’ Bad Robot & Writer Javier Gullón On the heels of the strong start for Westworld, which was recently renewed for a second season, HBO and J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot are teaming for another sci-fi drama project. Titled Glare, the project, now in development at at the premium cable network, is written by Spanish feature writer Javier Gullón. It is a sci-fi odyssey exploring the colonization of another planet. Gullón executive produces with Bad Robot’s Abrams and Ben Stephenson. Warner Bros. TV, where Bad Robot is based, is the studio; it also is behind HBO/Bad Robot’s Westworld. Glare stems from a blind deal Bad Robot signed with Gullón a year ago. Gullón had been identified by Bad Robot’s head of TV Stephenson, who developed the project based on an original idea by Javier. Gullón, who has multiple produced features overseas, drew Hollywood attention recently with his dramatic thriller spec script 478, which was made with Arnold Schwarzenegger starring and E/F/O, Protozoa and Peter Dealbert producing for release next year. Gullón recently adapted the novel The Dark Side, a sci-fi noir set on the moon, for 20th Century Fox with Steve Zaillian producing, which is currently out to directors. This marks the first foray into TV for Gullón who also previously wrote the Denis Villeneuve directed Enemy which starred Jake Gyllenhaal. Gullón is repped by CAA, Peter Dealbert of Pacific View Management and Eclipse Law. Bad Robot is also repped by CAA.
