Vanessa Kirby and Sydney Sweeney Join Jude Law and Ana De Armas In Ron Howard’s Survival Thriller EDEN
Ron Howard is about to start shooting his next film Eden, which is a survival thriller that stars Jude Law, Ana De Armas and Daniel Brühl. It was also just announced that Vanessa Kirby and Sydney Sweeney have joined the cast and they will replace Alicia Vikander and Daisy Edgar-Jones, who ended up dropping out of the project.
The movie is based on “an unsolved mystery that unfolded on a remote island in the Galapagos, the movie charts the lengths humans will go in pursuit of happiness.” It’s inspired by two different accounts of the same true story, and the film is described as “a darkly comic tale of murder and survival, set around a group of eclectic characters who abandon civilization for the Galapagos. They are all searching for the answer to that ever-pressing question that plagues us all: what is the meaning of life.”
Howard has been wanting to tell the story for 15 years. He was inspired to make it after he first visited the Galapagos Island where the real-life events took place. The film will explore “the human condition in ways that are unexpected, absurd, humorous, sexy, but above all thrilling and deeply suspenseful.”
It was also announced that Hans Zimmer will be scoring the movie. He previously worked with Howard on the 1991 film Backdraft.
Howard will shoot the movie in Queensland, Australia with a small unit filming in the Galapagos. Howard’s last film, the Thai cave rescue thriller Thirteen Lives, was also filmed in Queensland.
