A futuristic outer space comedy is in development by writer-director Kevin Smith.

The film will allude to other sci-fi movies with a plot line around a father-son relationship. Smith has touched upon this type of genre in his earlier work but never made a sci-fi film.

As an independent filmmaker, Smith is aiming for a budget in the $45 million-$50 million bracket – his biggest budget so far.
Smith will start on the sci-fi project after he wraps up his next project Red State, which is about domestic terrorism in the Heartland with a spring start date.

Hollywood Reporter says that Smith is looking forward to exploring new character dynamics as well as outer space with a father and son relationship.
