Dead Snow and Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters director Tommy Wirkola has something more sci-fi involved for his next film, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t at least give you guys a head’s up about it. Read on for details.
THR reports Noomi Rapace has signed on to star in What Happened to Monday? an indie sci-fi drama from Tommy Wirkola. Following a script by Max Botkin, Monday will see Rapace play the multiple roles of septuplet sisters who struggle to stay hidden in an overpopulated world where a one-child policy outlaws siblings. The seven must overcome their own differences and avoid government execution in order to solve the disappearance of one of their own.
The lead was originally written for a male actor but was rewritten when Rapace met with Wirkola. “Although the role was originally written for a male, I was struck by the complexities of having an actor portray seven characters and immediately knew Noomi was the ideal actor — male or female — to bring them to life,” said Wirkola in a statement.
This one could go either way in terms of coverage, but we’ll keep an eye on it and let you know if it should be on your radar.
