Independent has announced that they will be producing Archive, the debut from concept designer Gavin Rothery (Moon), according to Screen Daily. The film will feature Underworld: Awakening‘s Theo James as a scientist who is working on an android that will be seen as “human equivalent.” However, his real motive is to use this technology to revive and reunite with his dead wife.
Independent’s Philip Herd explains, “Sci-fi is at its most powerful when exploring the human condition through compelling high concepts, and Gavin has created an incredibly soulful story that, when combined with his singular vision and Theo’s electric talent, add up to a film that will sit proudly amongst the best of the sci-fi canon.”
Laurie Rose, who was the cinematographer on Kill List and High Rise, is attached; and VFX will be done by Double Negative.
