John Goodman Set to Star in Rupert Wyatt’s Sci-Fi Film CAPTIVE STATE
In my opinion, John Goodman gave one of the best performances of his career in the J.J. Abrams-produced sci-fi thriller 10 Cloverfield Lane, which was released earlier this year. I'd love to see him get an Oscar nomination for it! The actor is about to jump back into the genre with a new film being developed by director Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) called Captive State.
Wyatt wrote the script with his wife Erica Beeney, and unfortunately, there are no plot details to share with you at this time. It's just said that it will have a sci-fi angle. There's also no word on who Goodman will be playing in the film.
Apparently, there was a heavy bidding war for the script that was eventually won by FilmNation Entertainment. Whatever the story entails it must be good, especially if a respected, high-profile actor like Goodman decided to sign up to star in it.
Goodman will next be seen in Peter Berg's Boston Marathon bombing film Patriots Day and Legendary Pictures' Kong: Skull Island.
