EXCLUSIVE: Amazon is in negotiations to pick up the screenplay Ruby, a female assassin action feature by Kat Wood which I hear is going for around six figures.

87North is coming aboard to produce Ruby with the label’s Kelly McCormick, Annie Marter and David Leitch producing. 

The story, I hear, is in the spirit of the Geena Davis-Samuel L. Jackson 1996 cult action femme pic Long Kiss Goodnight, which followed an amnesiatic schoolteacher who sets out on a journey to find out who she is with the help of a private detective until they uncover a dark conspiracy.

Wood grew up in Yarm, a quiet town in North East England, and is a former BBC broadcast journalist. Her sci-fi script Envoy, which we first told you about, sold to Amy Pascal’s Pascal Pictures in 2017, with her sci-fi pitch Genus, which we also first reported, sold to Pascal Pictures in a competitive bidding situation the following year. Skydance Media bought Wood’s action short story and pitch Diplomatic Courier in the spring of 2019.

Wood’s first feature as director was the contained thriller Zero, which is currently set up with Thunder Road. Her first short film, Home, stars Maggie Gyllenhaal and was produced by Oscar-nominated producer Dana Brunetti.

Leitch, the director of Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde and Hobbs & Shaw, is set to direct Sony’s Bullet Train starring Brad Pitt. Bullet Train is based on the Japanese novel Maria Beetle by Kotaro Isaka and follows five assassins who find themselves on a fast-moving bullet train from Tokyo to Morioka with only a few stops in between. As a director, and producer of the John Wick franchise, Leitch’s global box office credits have racked up over $2.2 billion.

McCormick is producing Bullet Train, and produced Atomic Blonde and Bob Odenkirk’s upcoming action thriller Nobody at Universal.

Hoek Is Sustainable Furniture Built in 60 Seconds - Design Milk

sedar.indah.link

Brooklyn-based design and fabrication firm A05 Studio is in the midst of a Kickstarter campaign for some very cleverly designed furniture. Hoek has been created with all of the small space, move-it-yourself dwellers in mind. This collection of click-together furniture is sleek, sustainable and can be assembled in roughly 60 seconds with no tools required. As soon as a piece of Hoek flat-packed furniture arrives at your door, all that’s required – after opening the box – is unclipping the legs from underneath the chassis and clicking them into place. That’s literally it.

Post-consumer recycled HDPE plastic is milled into Hoek furniture in A05 Studio’s shop. The flexibility of the HDPE plastic holds the leg in place when assembled. Simply unclip the leg from its storage compartment beneath the chassis by pulling it upwards. The hook at the rear end of the leg is inserted first, and when pushed forward it clicks into place creating a strong durable joint. During the breakdown of a piece of furniture, the legs can be clicked back into their storage compartment in the chassis once removed from the joint. It’s just so simple and convenient.

If you’re working from home, need to exercise in your living room or are having guests over, easily breakdown Hoek and store it away under your couch, bed, etc., for extra space. The HDPE can be reused, so if you ever want to change things up you can send the pieces back and they can be recycled into new furniture!
