Moran, via Patrick Moran Productions, is executive producing the project along with John Leguizamo, as well as as Isa Dick Hakcett, the CEO of Electric Shepherd. Bradley Kaplan will also executive produce.

Clans of the Alphane Moon is described as a a subversive, genre-bending, sci-fi comedy about desperately trying to escape, and ultimately having to embrace our flaws, told through the prism of a Latinx family en route to a new, faraway moon.

Dicks Electric Dreams as well as the alternative history series The Man in the High Castle, based on Dicks novel of the same name. Amazon is also prepping the series Blade Runner 2099. That show continues the story of Ridley Scotts Blade Runner franchise, with the first film having been based on Dicks book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Electric Shepherd Productions is repped by WME and attorney Christopher Tricarico.

Leguizamo is best known for his work in front of the camera, having starred in films like Moulin Rouge, Encanto, the Ice Age franchise, Carlitos Way, To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar, and John Wick.
