Netflix's upcoming original film "Spiderhead" is assembling quite an impressive cast. It has been recently confirmed that Chris Hemsworth ("Thor"), Miles Teller (Whiplas") and Jurnee Smollett ("Lovecraft Country") have signed on to star in the film, which is an adaptation of a George Saunders short story that first ran in The New Yorker and was later included in the author's bestselling anthology "Tenth of December".
The story is set in the near future when convicts are offered the chance to volunteer as medical subjects in hopes of shortening their sentences, and it follows two prisoners who become the test patients for emotion-altering drugs that force the prisoners to grapple with their pasts in a facility run by a brilliant visionary who supervises the program.
The film will be directed by "Top Gun: Maverick" helmer Joseph Kosinski from a script by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick ("Deadpool", "Zombieland"). Eric Newman will produce alongside Hemsworth, Reese, Wernick, Oren Katzeff, Geneva Wasserman, Tommy Harper and Jeremy Steckler.
