Edward Berger and Austin Butler Team up on Time-Travel Thriller "The Barrier".

Deadline is reporting that the in-demand director Berger and rising star Austin Butler are currently shopping around “The Barrier”, a hot time-travel package that's expected to spur a bidding war in the coming months.

The package hit the market on Wednesday and a lot of top executives around town are asking to meet and hear the take.

After winning four Oscars for his Netflix hit “All Quiet On The Western Front”, German born Berger just released an acclaimed Papal thriller “Conclave”, that's almost guaranteed to earn him a best-director Oscar nod, most likely a best-picture too.

Berger recently wrapped “The Ballad Of A Small Player” for Netflix, which makes the streamer the most likely destination where “The Barrier” might eventually land.

Berger is so hot right now that rumors have been swirling around about his potential involvement in directing the next James Bond, ‘Ocean’s 14,’ and ‘The Bourne Dilemma’ — he’s only confirmed his involvement in ‘Bourne’ and denied all reports pertaining to the other two.
