In a pre-American Film Market deal, “Breaking Bad” and The Last House on the Left‘s Aaron Paul, pictured, has come on board alongside Olga Kurylenko in the sci-fi thriller Android, reports Variety.
Android is set on a lonely spaceship orbiting Neptune as Paul’s character fulfills his dream to rebuild his dead wife, portrayed by Kurylenko, and their son as androids. But when the androids begin demanding a life of their own, his life is suddenly in danger and a battle of wits and strength ensues. It sort of reminds this writer of Hal in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001, only the continuousness will be in physical bodies.
Niall Johnson is directing from a script he co-wrote with Matt O’Reilly.
Android will begin shooting at Infinite Studios Singapore early next year. The film will be produced by Picture Films’ Margot Hand and Infinite Studios Singapore’s Mike Wiluan and Lindsey Martin.
