We learned back in August that Neill Blomkamp is no longer directing a RoboCop sequel for MGM, but the good news is that the project taking its place is a horror/thriller!
Deadline reports today that the film is titled Inferno, with Taylor Kitsch set to star.
“Kitsch will play a cop who is called to investigate a seemingly ordinary murder in the New Mexico desert. The arrival of the FBI confirms his suspicions that something bigger – perhaps extraterrestrial – is at play.”
“The hunt for the killer puts him face-to-face with a humanoid beast who will stop at nothing to exterminate the one witness to the crime.”
“I am very excited to be getting behind the camera and making Inferno with AGC [Studios],” said Blomkamp. “The film is filled with themes and concepts that I find deeply fascinating, I feel lucky to be shooting it.”
Production will kick off in early 2020.
