Aaron Paul Set to Star in Sci-Fi Thriller ANDROID
Aaron Paul has been hired to star alongside Olga Kurylenko in a new sci-fi thriller called Android. According to Variety, the story "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." It's then explained that when the androids begin demanding a life of their own, "his life is suddenly in danger and a battle of wits and strength ensues."
This sounds like a really interesting film concept! The thought of a father whose android versions of a wife and son are trying to kill him is kind of twisted and demented. Niall Johnson is directing from a script he co-wrote with Matt O’Reilly, and producer Margot Hand had this to say the project in a statement:
“We are so excited to see what Aaron and Olga can bring to this film. Niall and Matt have written a genre-bending and thrilling film that is grounded in the relationship of two complicated and interesting characters. There are no better actors to work with Niall to bring this film to life.”
Paul and Kurylenko are both talented actors and this seems like a great project for them. I'm a fan of Paul's work and it's nice to see him jump on board film projects like this.
