Oscar winner Alicia Vikander ("The Danish Girl") and Oscar nominee Michael Fassbender ("12 Years A Slave") have signed on to star in "Hope", the upcoming film from acclaimed Korean helmer Na Hong-Jin ("The Wailing"). Husband and wife, Fassbender and Vikander have worked together before on the 2016 film "The Light Between Oceans".
The story follows the residents of Hopo Port, where a mysterious discovery is made on the outskirts of the remote harbor town. The residents find themselves in a desperate fight for survival against something they have never encountered before.
Additional casting and pre-production is underway for a shoot later this year in Korea. "The Wailing" and "Parasite" cinematographer Hong Kyung-pyo is also on board.
Na said the following about the projet:
"Oftentimes, a person’s goodwill can lead to unintended catastrophe simply because of differences in perspective. My hope for this film is to cinematically capture that phenomenon in a way that has yet to be seen."The film will be produced under Na's production banner Forged Films. Plus M is handling international sales and UTA Independent Film Group and Plus M are handling North America. The Korean firm is already eyeing additional IP opportunities for the project.
Vikander is also set to star opposite Jude Law in the historical drama "Firebrand". Fassbender can next be seen in Taika Waititi's "Next Goal Wins" and David Fincher's "The Killer".
