Variety has revealed that Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex) is in talks to join Sony’s big-budget sci-fi drama Passengers.
The Brit actor will join Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) and Jennifer Lawrence (American Hustle) in the film, which is being directed by Morten Tyldem (The Imitation Game) from a script by Jon Spaihts (Prometheus). Here’s the official synopsis…
A spacecraft travelling to a distant colony planet and transporting thousands of people has a malfunction in one of its sleep chambers. As a result, a single passenger is awakened 60 years early. Faced with the prospect of growing old and dying alone, he eventually decides to wake up a second passenger.
Passengers is set for release in 2016.
