Eiza Gonzalez (Baby Driver) has been cast alongside Emma Roberts (American Horror Story) and Danielle MacDonald (Patti Cake$) in the sci-fi film Paradise Hills. The sci-fi thriller is Alice Waddington’s directorial debut from a script written by Brian DeLeeuw, Nacho Vigalondo and Sofia Cuenca.
In Paradise Hills, Roberts plays Uma, the daughter of a magnate who commits suicide after his company is targeted for hostile takeover by a predatory billionaire named Son Prescott. Prescott decides to marry Uma, but only after kidnapping and sending her to Paradise Hills, a private sanitarium where she is to have her mind systematically destroyed.
Gonzalez will play Amarna, a tough Paradise Hills resident who might be Uma’s only hope in escaping the nightmare.
Gonzalez will be seen next in Robert Rodriduez’s Alita: Battle Angel and will later star in an untitled Robert Zemeckis film with Steve Carell this fall.
