Greta Lee and Kingsley Ben-Adir Are In Talks to Get Trapped Together
Fast X director Louis Leterrier has locked in on his next project — now he just needs to find some actors to put on house arrest. Per Deadline, Greta Lee (Past Lives) and Kingsley Ben-Adir (Barbie, Bob Marley: One Love) are in talks to star in Leterrier’s upcoming sci-fi horror film 11817, which follows a family of four who get trapped inside their home indefinitely. “As both modern luxuries and life or death essentials begin to run out, the family must learn how to be resourceful to survive and outsmart” the “inexplicable forces” keeping them stuck inside, per an official logline. If negotiations go well, would that make Lee and Ben-Adir the movie’s stay-at-home parents?
Either way, we expect we’ll be getting updates pretty soon: Additional casting for the project, which is based on a script by Matthew Robinson, is said to already be underway. The film is also reportedly set to be introduced at the Cannes Film Festival this month. Plus, at a recent Collider panel at CCXP Mexico, Leterrier said that 11817 — which he called his “Twilight Zone homage” — plans to start filming on July 29 in London. According to Leterrier, production will wrap by September 15, which sounds like the schedule is already pretty set. Good on him for crunching 11817’s numbers.
