The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus is teaming with Robert Kirkman again, this time for a low budget sci-fi thriller!
Norman Reedus has hunted his way into our hearts as Daryl Dixon on The Walking Dead. Now it's time for him to take charge on the big screen. And what better way to do it than in another genre project that just happens to have Walking Dead co-creator Robert Kirkman involved, as well? Airis a science fiction film produced by Kirkman and his Skybound Entertainment company, and will also star Guardians of the Galaxy's Djimon Hounsou.
Airis written and directed by video game writer and designer Christian Cantamessa (Red Dead Redemption) from a script co-written by Chris Pasetto. According to The Hollywood Reporter (who have more details on the project) Air"is set in an underground cryogenic facility after a nuclear fallout renders the atmosphere unbreathable. Air centers on its two custodial workers (Reedus, Hounsou), who take care of the cryogenically sleeping personnel that are to re-establish society, but they struggle to preserve their own sanity and lives while maintaining the extremely fragile environment of the last livable place on earth."
Described as "low budget" and coming from a first-time director, Aircould have the same kind of isolated creepiness that made Duncan Jones'Moonsuch a hit with genre fans. No word on a start or release date just yet, but we'll keep you posted.
