A couple of superhero movie villains are packing their bags for outer space: Variety reports Rhys Ifans (aka the Lizard in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) and Ed Skrein (aka the new Transporter and baddie Ajax in DEADPOOL) will star in GATEWAY 6, a sci-fi thriller set to be helmed by first-timer Tanel Toom, whose short The Confession was nominated for an Academy Award in 2011.
Here’s what GATEWAY 6 is about:
Set in the future, on a war-ravaged Earth, four soldiers man the last bastion Gateway 6 — an outpost in a sea-covered continent — awaiting a relief crew or the enemy, whichever comes first. But as the empty weeks turn to months, paranoia descends that tests relationships to breaking point. Especially with the arrival of a deserted boat — was it the help they’d been so anxiously waiting for, or something far more sinister?
GATEWAY 6 is due to shoot in Estonia early next year.
