Dreamscape, the 1984 film, starred Dennis Quaid as psychic Alex Gardner, who becomes involved in government-sponsored experiments that allow him to enter others’ minds as they dream. The reboot series, however, is set to introduce a virtual reality spin to the original concept.
According to Giant Freakin Robot’s sources, the rebooted series will be about a shared virtual reality realm which people can enter during their sleep, a concept that aligns with the shared dreams theme of the original film.

It’s currently unknown whether Jonze will serve as director for the series or if he will only produce. His last credited work as a director was for the 2020 documentary Beastie Boys Story.
