Academy Winner Kathryn Bigelow to Direct Aurora for Netflix &#8211; A Movie Adapted by David Koepp Novel Set Against a Worldwide Power Crisis

Oscar Winner, Kathryn Bigelow, is all set to step into Netflix for the next
film. We can be rest assured that, if Bigelow is taking the chance to direct any
project, that film will surely make an impression in the industry.

She will be directing Aurora, a thriller, based on the novel of the same name by
David Koepp, on the streaming giant. The Oscar-winning filmmaker hasn’t made a
movie since 2017’s race drama, Detroit. Her fans were wondering if she is
leaving her career in the industry? But with her new film announcement, it feels
like a sigh of relief for the fans.

Kathryn Bigelow won the Academy Awards for The Hurt Locker. She became the first
woman to win the Best Director statuette. In 2013, another thriller by her, Zero
Dark Thirty, explores the hunt for terrorist Osama bin Laden and earned her a
Best Picture nomination. Before her big break, her work includes Near Dark,
Point Break, and Strange Days. So, it’s safe to say, Bigelow finds her next
movie as the Oscar winner. Now let’s know more about the thriller, Aurora.
