Brandon Routh to Spend 400 Days in Space With Dane Cook If ever there were a reason for space madness, eh? We kid, we kid. Anyway, some quick news is coming out concerning the latest sci-fi/horror hybrid 400 Days. Read on for the first details.

According to Deadline, production is just getting under way on the flick that stars Brandon Routh (pictured; Superman Returns), “Arrow’s” Caity Lotz, “Mad Men’s” Ben Feldman, “Ed’s” Tom Cavanagh, “Defiance’s” Grant Bowler, and Dane Cook.

New Artists Alliance and XLrator Media are backing the film, which is written and directed by Ghost from the Machine‘s Matt Osterman.

400 Days centers on four astronauts sent on a simulated mission to a distant planet to test the psychological effects of deep space travel. Locked away for 400 days, the crew’s mental state begins to deteriorate when they lose all communication with the outside world. Forced to exit the ship, they discover that this mission may not have been a simulation after all.

“Matt has penned a mind-bending screenplay that reminds us why we make movies to begin with,” says NAA’s Gabriel Cowan. “Its complete sense of awe, mystery, and character grabbed us right away. And the crazy reality is that NASA and the European Space Agency are conducting these types of psychological experiments in preparation for the manned mission to Mars right now.”
