Ted Melfi in Talks to Direct Sci-Fi Adventure 'Harry's All Night Hamburgers' (Exclusive)
Ted Melfi, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind the historical period drama Hidden Figures, is going sci-fi. Melfi is in final negotiations to direct Harry’s All Night Hamburgers, a sci-fi adventure set up at Warner Bros. Picked up as a spec by Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman, Hamburgers centers on a down-on-his-luck high school senior who discovers that the roadside diner where he works nights is actually the hangout of parallel universe of travelers. Ignoring the advice of the diner's irascible owner Harry, he sets off on an adventure through the multiverse in search of his own perfect life, only to learn that happiness doesn't come as easy as pressing a button. The script has been described as being reminiscent of Back to the Future and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
