More casting news has arrived for Sony’s reboot of the sci-fi medical thriller Flatliners. Variety is reporting that “Transparent” star Kiersey Clemons has signed on for inactive duty opposite the previously announced Ellen Page, Nina Dobrev, and Diego Luna.
Clemons (pictured below) will play a young medical student struggling to endure both the rigors of her workload and the overbearing mother with whom she still lives.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo‘s Niels Arden Oplev is at the helm of this project based the 1990 original film.
Opening with the line “Today is a good day to die,” the original Flatliners featured Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland, and Kevin Bacon and focused on a group of medical students who conduct near-death experiments to travel into the afterworld to find greater meaning and hidden truths. Being a movie, things go wrong; and they get a lot more than they bargained for, as will likely also be the case in the reboot.
Stay tuned for more as it comes!
