“I’m 61 and my motto now is: ‘If not now, when, if not me, who?’ I’m excited to have a creative home to explore my own ideas and others. Jason and his team have made me feel welcome. Comet is ready to bring these stories to screen life,” said Jamie Lee Curtis

“Jamie is a force of nature and was a real partner on Halloween. So it’s both an honor and incredibly apt that she’s making her first feature film as a director with Mother Nature,” said Jason Blum, Blumhouse CEO and Founder.

Russell Goldman is a writer and filmmaker from Virginia who has worked with Curtis and David Gordon Green. Russell’s most recent short film No Comment had an online premiere on Film Shortage in April 2020.
