Michael Chiklis Joins Noomi Rapace in Sci-Fi Film RUPTURE

Noomi Rapace already ruptured once in Prometheus (that self-surgery sequence was brutal to watch), but if The Fantastic Four and The Shield actor Michael Chiklis has his way, she'll be doing it again very soon.

Deadline reports that Chiklis has just signed on to play the villainous Bald Man in a sci-fi thriller titled Rupture, which follows "a single mother (Rapace) struggling to raise her 12-year-old son alone who is abducted by a mysterious organization. Tied up in their lab, they question her about her medical history, eventually revealing that she has a genetic abnormality that her worst fear can cause her to “rupture” — causing her own alien nature to be released." The Bald Man is the head of the organization that captures the woman.

Chiklis hasn't spent too much time on the big screen since he became a household name playing a corrupt cop on FX's The Shield, preferring to pop up in things like American Horror Story and Sons of Anarchy among ill-fated shows like No Ordinary Family and Vegas. I'll be curious to see how he handles the role of a Big Bad in a sci-fi thriller opposite Rapace. Shooting begins next month, so I'd expect Rupture to hit theaters sometime in 2016.
