Coleite currently has two screenplays in the development. The first, an apocalyptic drama entitled The End, is set up with Warner Bros. This screenplay will be directed by Drew Barrymore. The second is an adaptation of a short story by Rick Yancey called When First We Were Gods. The short story is set in a world where immortality can be bought by the rich and follows a man who attempts to murder his immortal wife so that his mortal mistress can take her place and live forever.

Additionally, Coleite has been an active TV writer with writing and producer credits on The River, Heroes, and Crossing Jordan.

Coleite is represented by CA and attorney Karl Austen.

There is still no time table in place for the film. No casting has been decided yet but now that a director, Joseph Kosinski, and screenwriter have found, momentum will grow for the project.
