Monster Problems will be directed and written by Michael Matthews with Shawn Levy set to produce through his 21 Laps banner. The project is said to be a coming-of-age story that will center around a road trip with a young man living in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monsters. The film is likened to both Mad Max and Zombieland with John Hughes overtones.
The film will also star Michael Rooker (Guardians of the Galaxy), Jessica Henwick (Iron Fist) as Aimee, Arianna Greenblatt (Avengers: Infinity War) as Minnow, and Dan Ewing (Occupation) as Cap. Rooker will be playing the role of expert hunter Clyde, who will serve as Joel Dawson’s (O’Brien) mentor on how to survive the Monster Apocalypse.
