Joe Penna, a YouTube sensation-turned-filmmaker, is directing the sci-fi thriller Stowaway for XYZ Films, and THR reports tonight that he’s landed Anna Kendrick as his star.
“Stowaway’s logline follows the crew of a spaceship headed to Mars that discovers an accidental stowaway shortly after takeoff. Too far from Earth to turn back and with resources quickly dwindling, the ship’s medical researcher (Kendrick) emerges as the only dissenting voice against the group consensus that has already decided in favor of a grim outcome.”
Penna (Arctic) co-wrote the script with Ryan Morrison.
XYZ Films will produce alongside RISE Pictures and augenschein Filmproduktion.
