Toni Collette to Join Anna Kendrick in Sci-Fi Thriller STOWAWAY
Toni Collette just joined the cast of the sci-fi thriller Stowaway. She will star as the ship’s commander opposite the previously cast Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect, A Simple Favor), who will play a medical researcher. Here is the synopsis according to Variety:
The story revolves around a mission headed to Mars, where an unintended stowaway accidentally causes severe damage to the spaceship’s life support systems. Facing dwindling resources and a potentially grim outcome, a medical researcher (Kendrick) emerges as the only dissenting voice against the clinical logic of both her commander (Collette) and the ship’s biologist.
The movie is being directed by Joe Penna and written by Penna and Ryan Morrison, who also wrote a film called Arctic that premiered at Cannes Film Festival last year. Stowaway sounds like a solid story, and Collette and Kendrick are heavy hitters that I like and trust for solid performances. Collette has been seen previously in all kinds of solid roles, such as The Sixth Sense, Little Miss Sunshine, and her well-received horror flick of 2018, Hereditary. We will see her on February 1st in the movie Velvet Buzzsaw, alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and John Malkovich.
Does this sounds like a story that interests you? Stowaway will hit theaters in 2020.
