Along with directing, Gray has also written "Armageddon Time". He taps into his own experiences as a student at the Kew-Forest School in Queens for the film. Fred Trump served on the board of the private school and Donald Trump was an alumnus. The school's principal will be a central character of the story.

There's no update about when "Armageddon Times" will go into production amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, Blanchett is also doing Adam McKays next directorial venture "Don't Look Up".

McKay's Netflix film "Don't Look Up" also stars Jennifer Lawrence. It follows two astronomers who embark on a tour to warn people of an approaching asteroid that can potentially destroy planet Earth. McKay is writing and directing the movie.
