Australian television and film star Joel Edgerton, who audiences will recognize from THE GREAT GATSBY and ZERO DARK THIRTY, has been cast to join Michael Shannon (who played maniacal villain General Zod in MAN OF STEEL) in an unnamed science fiction film directed by Jeff Nichols.
Nichols, who has directed films SHOOTGUN STORIES, TAKE SHELTER and MUD, is developing a "contemporary-set, sci-fi chase movie". Nichols told Empire, "I really want to make a certain kind of movie... it's like a sub-genre movie, a chase film". He added,"I like working in genre and subverting it - I think each of my films has been a genre film that you dismantle - and I'm trying to do the same thing here. I'm putting the focus on the characters, rather than the genre elements".
