Kate Mara to Star in Sci-Fi Thriller THE ASTRONAUT Alongside Gabriel Luna and Laurence Fishburne

Kate Mara to Star in Sci-Fi Thriller THE ASTRONAUT Alongside Gabriel Luna and Laurence Fishburne

Emmy-nominated actress Kate Mara ("House of Cards", "A Teacher", "The Martian") has signed on to star in the sci-fi thriller "The Astronaut". The film is written and directed by Jess Varley ("Phobias"), who is making her writing and directorial debut. Gabriel Luna ("Terminator: Dark Fate") and Laurence Fishburne ("The Matrix") co-star.

The film follows astronaut Sam Walker (Mara) who returns from her first space mission and is found miraculously alive in a punctured capsule floating deep off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Expecting to be reunited with her husband (Luna), she finds herself placed under intense NASA surveillance in a high security house for rehabilitation and medical testing under the control of General William Harris (Fishburne). However, when disturbing occurrences begin happening around the property, she fears that something extraterrestrial has followed her back to Earth.

Filming is expected to begin this October, in Ireland under an interim SAG-AFTRA agreement.

"The Astronaut" is produced by Fuller Media's Brad Fuller ("A Quiet Place", "The Purge" films) and Cameron Fuller, alongside Wonder Company's Eric B. Fleischman ("Sleight") and Chris Abernathy ("Barbarian").

Highland Film Group is representing international rights to "The Astronaut", at the Toronto International Film Festival. CAA Media Finance and the UTA Independent Film Group are co-repping domestic rights.

Highland Film Group CEO Arianne Fraser said the following:
"We are so pleased that Kate Mara and Gabriel Luna have joined with Laurence Fishburne to bring Jess Varley's script to life. We are delighted to be collaborating with this team of producers led by Brad Fuller to bring this haunting sci-fi experience to global audiences."
