Max Minghella is a young actor best know from titles like Agora and The Social Network, and today we’re here to add his name to an upcoming Chris Gorak‘s alien invasion movie The Darkest Hour.
Few weeks ago we wrote about this interesting project, so we’re sure you all agree that Minghella, Olivia Thirlby and Emile Hirsch make quite a good team for this kind of story, right?
The story involves a group of young Americans trying to survive an alien invasion in Russia.
At this moment we know that Emile Hirsch will play “a young American tourist,” while Olivia Thirlby will portray “a trust fund girl” and, of course they will team up with others and try to survive the attack of the invaders.
We have no details about Minghella’s role, but we guess that he’ll also be the part of this anti-alien team.
The film has a budget of around $40 million and is scheduled to start filming this summer in Moscow.
Chris Gorak, man best known as the art director on Fight Club and Minority Report will direct the film, while Timur Bekmambetov is in charge for the production.
Gorak and Josh Zetumer are currently revising the original script penned by M.T. Ahern and Leslie Bohem with revisions by Jon Spaihts.
We’ll keep an eye on this one. Stay tuned!
