Exclusive: Director James Ward Byrkit and producer Kate Andrews (It’s What’s Inside) are developing a feature follow-up to Coherence, the sci-fi thriller co-written, directed and executive produced by Byrkit, which has garnered a cult following since its release to critical acclaim in 2013.

Plot details are being kept under lock and key — including whether the new film will be a prequel, sequel, or a different story entirely. Byrkit will be at the helm as director and will also pen the script with his co-story writing partner Alex Manugian from the original film. Andrews will produce under her Boldly Go Productions following the sale of her first film It’s What’s Inside to Netflix for a festival high $17 million at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, on which we were first to report.

Stephen Belden will exec produce the new film under his Death Wish Entertainment banner.

Shatter Belt is a collection of stories that follows the many mysteries of life – including such heady topics as desire, free will, consciousness and intention.

In an exclusive interview with uInterview at South By Southwest festival with uInterview founder Erik Meers, creator James Ward Byrkit and actor Patton Oswalt discussed the message of the show.

“Well they’re all held together by questions of human intention, so that’s really the starting point,” Byrkit said. “What we intend and what our consciousness is trying to manifest in the world and how it becomes physical reality, so they’re all about that and this just happens to be one very different approach to that question, featuring a very human, very emotional character who’s really has one last shot to be relevant in life.”

Oswalt on to reveal how he got into his character Dervey Ryan for the show.
