CE Features

Earlier, we reported that James McAvoy is all set to lead a high-concept action thriller, titled Control, helmed by Robert Schwentke. Julianne Moore, who recently received an Oscar nomination for her performance in May December, is all set to star alongside McAvoy in the upcoming film.

The film is backed by Studiocanal and The Picture Company. Adapted from the award-winning podcast Shipworm from Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie, Control will be a tense edge-of-the-seat thriller that features a doctor who wakes up one morning with an untraceable device planted in his head. He is forced to follow a mysterious voice's instructions to avoid devastating consequences.

Control is all set to begin production in Berlin this month. With the latest revision by Andrew Baldwin, the script for Control has been penned by Akers. The Picture Company’s Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman will produce under Studiocanal.

Moore can currently be seen in Starz’s historical miniseries Mary & George as Mary Villiers, Countess of Buckingham. Coming up, she has Echo Valley co-starring Sydney Sweeney and Domhnall Gleeson. She also has Pedro Almodóvar’s first full-length English feature, The Room Next Door, in which she will be seen alongside Tilda Swinton.
