EFM 2017: Rupert Wyatt Puts Vera Farmiga and More in a Captive State
Aliens are causing more chaos in the new film from Rupert Wyatt, and Deadline is reporting that “Bates Motel” star Vera Farmiga, Jonathan Majors and rapper Colson Baker (a.k.a Machine Gun Kelly) have been cast in the sci-fi film Captive State from Participant Media.
They join John Goodman and Ashton Sanders in the film, which Wyatt also co-wrote with Erica Beeney. Production is scheduled to start early next month.
Set in a Chicago neighborhood nearly a decade after an occupation by an extra-terrestrial force, Captive State explores the lives on both sides of the conflict – the collaborators and dissidents.
David Crockett and Wyatt are producing while Jeff Skoll and Jonathan King of Participant Media will exec produce. Participant plans to release it through the company’s output arrangements via Amblin Partners, with Lionsgate selling available non-output international territories at the EFM in Berlin.
