Movie Starman Jeff Daniels Brendan Fraser Josh Wakely about an hour agoby Jessica Fisher

Two-time Emmy winner Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom, Godless, Pleasantville, Dumb and Dumber) is joining previously cast Oscar winner Brendan Fraser (The Mummy, The Whale) in the cosmic sci-fi thriller Starman. Emmy-winning filmmaker Josh Wakely (Beatbugs) is writing and directing, and is set to start shooting this summer.

Daniels will play Ed Watkins, the protective and powerful co-leader of a transformational company he built alongside visionary technologist Tom Adams (Fraser), a man who means far more to Ed than the company itself.

In Starman, Tom Adams is an architect of the future who launches a historic expedition to Mars, positioning himself at the forefront of humanity’s next great frontier. But when unforeseen events strand him millions of miles from Earth, his mission becomes an urgent race against time—driven not by survival alone, but by love.

Stay tuned for updates on the film as it heads into production.
