Details on Daniel Espinosa's sci-fi thriller LIFE have remained pretty under wraps, but one intriguing nugget has slipped through the thick veil. Jake Gyllenhaal will be joining the cast, acting opposite Ryan Reynolds and Rebecca Ferguson.
Gyllenhaal's choices have been very intriguing lately, ranging from the chilling indictment of news media NIGHTCRAWLER to the upcoming alternative grief drama DEMOLITION, to even playing Seymour in a re-staging of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. Whatever he does is unpredictable but it's always a treat, so it'll be exciting to see how the film turns out.
LIFE follows:
the crew of the International Space Station, after retrieving a sample from Mars, discover that it displays signs of life and proves to be more intelligent than expected.
LIFE was written by DEADPOOL scribes Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese.
