Emma Roberts teams with Laurence Fishburne for sci-fi film The Astronaut

February 15, 2023 by EJ Moreno

The unlikely duo of Emma Roberts and Laurence Fishburne could lead to wild delights in their upcoming sci-fi thriller as Deadline reports that the pair will star in The Astronaut from writer/director Jess Varley. 

In the film, “Sam Walker (Roberts) is found miraculously alive in a punctured capsule floating deep off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. General William Harris (Fishburne) arranges for her to be placed under intense NASA surveillance in a high-security house for rehabilitation and medical testing. When disturbing occurrences begin happening around the property, Walker fears something extraterrestrial has followed her back to Earth”.

“This story is very close to my heart, and I’m profoundly grateful it’s resonated with such an immensely accomplished team of creatives. I couldn’t be more excited for audiences to fasten their seatbelts and go on this thrilling ride with us!” said writer/director Varley.

The film comes from A Quiet Place and The Purge producer Brad Fuller. The producer notes, “I was inspired by Jess’ vision and handle on the material, and I’m thrilled to be working with her.”

Jess Varley is making her solo writing and directorial debut. She’s best known for her work in the indie horror anthology film Phobias. Production on The Astronaut will start later this year in Ireland.
