Los Angeles: Veteran filmmaker Robert Zemeckis might be making a comeback to the sci-fi genre with Warner Bros’ “Ares.”

The 67-year-old director is in talks with the studio to helm the movie that has an original script from “Captain Marvel” co-writer Geneva Robertson-Dworet, reported Deadline.

The Oscar winner is best known for making critically-acclaimed movies such as “Back to the Future” trilogy, “Forrest Gump,” “Contact” and “Flight” among others.

“Ares” follows an astronaut who survives his space capsule’s crash landing in an African desert but begins to suspect his mission was in service of a conspiracy that hides a secret with world-changing ramifications.

If he comes aboard the project, Zemeckis will also produce it along with Jack Rapke and Steve Starkey, his partners at ImageMovers.

Dan Lin & Jonathan Eirich of Rideback and Kristin Winkler are also producing the movie.
