Rachel Brosnahan, best known for playing the titular character in The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, will play the lead role in the upcoming sci-fi comedy, Distant.
The film, also featuring Broadway actor Anthony Ramos, will be directed by Will Speck and Josh Gordon from a script by Spenser Cohen, according to reports.
The story revolves around an asteroid miner who crash-lands on an alien planet and must contend with the challenges of his new surroundings while making his way across the harsh terrain to the only other survivor, a woman who is trapped in her escape pod.
Distant, which hails from Amblin Partners, will be produced by Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Fred Berger, and Anna Halberg.
Speck and Gordon will also serve as executive producers, along with Jonathan Rothbart and Matt Hirsch.
