'Spiderhead' has a cracking team involved too
Details about the action star's next on demand movie have been announced, and there is a great team involved in making it happen.
Chris Hemsworth's next Netflix blockbuster 'Spiderhead' is pretty far along the development process, with the three lead actors of the movie already being announced. Filming is expected to get underway very soon.
According to Deadline, the killer cast who will be joining Hemsworth in his next action flick will be Miles Teller from the thrilling 'Whiplash' and the fantastic Jurnee Smollett from HBO's most recent fantasy series 'Lovecraft Country'.
'Spiderhead' will be inspired by George Saunders short story 'Escape from Spiderhead', which was first published in The New Yorker in 2010. The concept of the short story sees us placed into the near future, where we will join two prisoners who become the guinea pigs for a range of new drugs which can change a person's emotions. The program is run by a visionary who believes the drug can change how we live in the world.
'Top Gun: Maverick' and 'TRON: Legacy' director Joseph Kosinski is attached to direct, with the script of the movie coming from 'Zombieland' and 'Deadpool' writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
Chris Hemsworth's most recent Netflix film 'Extraction' became a runaway success when it was released earlier this year, so much so that the streamer had no choice but to have a sequel greenlit to keep up with viewer's demands. The movie was released in April of this year and has become one of the service's most-watched titles of the year.
