Chris Evans Joins Neill Blomkamp's Survival Film Project GREENLAND

Captain America star Chris Evans is set to star in a new film project coming from director Neill Blomkamp called Greenland. Blomkamp is best known for his work on District 9, Elysium, and Chappie. His next film is said to follow "one family’s fight for survival in the face of a cataclysmic natural disaster."

We don't know much more about the film other than that. I've enjoyed all of Blomkamp's films though, including Chappie, so I'm excited to see how this next film of his turns out. I just like his filmmaking and visual style. One of the producers of the film, Sébastien Raybaud, CEO of Anton, had this to say in a statement:

"When we read Greenland, we knew it was exactly the sort of film we wanted to make as we build the Anton brand - smart, character-driven genre with action and heart. We are very excited to work alongside our friends at STX with such exceptional talent as Neill Blomkamp, Chris Evans and Basil Iwanyk."

David Kosse, President of STXinternational, added:

“Greenland is the kind of highly commercial genre fare that sees Neill Blomkamp doing what he does best: delivering a smart, fresh, high concept narrative in a world we can easily recognize,” said “We were immediately attracted to this talent-driven, wide release, theatrical title that is so distinctive of the STX brand. Working alongside Neill, Thunder Road, Riverstone and Anton to bring this to the marketplace is a tremendous opportunity.”

I like that Evans and Blomkamp will be teaming up for a movie. They seem like they would make a great team and I can't wait to see what they end up creating for us. The film is scheduled to start shooting during the last quarter of 2018.
