Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy clearly had some fun working together on Free Guy, because they've decided to team up again for a new film, one that involves time travel.

No, they're not looking to commit the immortal cine-sin of remaking Back To The Future. This is instead an original idea that sprang from a spec script by TS Nowlin that has been hanging around in Hollywood for a good eight years already –Tom Cruise was interested in the lead at one point. The concept, originally called Our Name Is Adam, has Jonathan Tropper overhauling it, and it'll see Reynolds as a man who has to travel back in time to get help from his 13-year-old self. They, he encounters, his late father, who at the time is the same age Reynolds' character is now.

Depending on pandemic conditions, Levy and Reynolds want to start shooting the movie later this year on the East Coast of the US. And talking of Free Guy, the film starring Reynolds as a non-player character in a video game, is currently scheduled for 11 December this year.
