Steven Spielberg is attached to direct an untitled sci-fi film for Paramount Pictures that would follow a group of explorers who travel through a worm hole and into another dimension reports the trades.

The story will rely on Caltech physicist Kip Thorne's theories of gravity fields and black holes. There is no screenplay as yet so the project would likely be three to four years away from fruition.

Thorne wrote a treatment with the help of producer and science nut Lynda Obst ("How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"), prompting Spielberg's involvement.
