Actor Taylor Kitsch will be part of Inferno, Neill Blomkamp’s upcoming science-fiction thriller. AGC Studios has agreed to fully finance and produce the film.
Blomkamp is best known for his Oscar-nominated debut District 9. He also oversaw Elysium and Chappie, both of which were less financially and critically successful.
Kitsch’s credits include Lone Survivor, Savages, and Battleship. In Inferno, he will star as a cop who is called to investigate a seemingly ordinary murder in the New Mexico desert. There he uncovers a deeper conspiracy and begins to suspect that the killer he’s trying to find maybe a humanoid beast.
