While Michael Shannon has been around for years, it was Jeff Nichols Take Shelter that really got Hollywood to take notice of him not just as a reliable character actor, but as a truly excellent performer. Now Variety reports that Shannon in reuniting with Nichols for a sci-fi movie.
Nichols, whose latest film Mud recently opened in the US, has also written the script for the movie, with Warner Bros. backing the film. There are few details on the plot, other than that it’s described as a present day sci-fi chase film.
It’ll be Nichols first studio movie, and hopefully by the time it starts shooting, Shannon will be an even bigger star than he is now, following his turn as Zod in this summer’s Man Of Steel.
