Moviehole is reporting genre fav Rufus Sewell, best known to us as the star of Dark City and Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter, is circling another genre piece.
Sewell is being courted for science-fiction/horror flick Animus, pegged as a mix between Aliens and Event Horizon.
Explains the site, the Thomas Konkle-written script fixes on a space-journeying scientists who, on the way back from investigating some far-off moons, are hit by micrometeorites. One of the scientists is infected, and it’s no longer before another side of him comes out – threatening the family– killing the men, while dominating and impregnating the women. It’s up to the rest of the guys on the ship to kill the infected man – and thus, the monster within – before the evolved contagion makes it to Earth.
Commercials director Konkle is behind the camera.
