Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Garth Davis’ SF movie Foe will be produced by Amazon Studios.

Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal will star alongside Aaron Pierre (replacing LaKeith Stansfield), according to Deadline. The movie, based on Iain Reid’s novel, is set in a near future when corporate power and environmental decay are ravaging the planet. Junior (Mescal) and Hen (Ronan) are a young couple married for seven years who live a solitary life on their isolated farm. One night, a stranger named Terrance (Pierre) knocks on their door, bringing news that throws their lives into turmoil: Junior has been randomly selected to travel to a large, experimental space station orbiting Earth. The most unusual part? Arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Hen won’t have a chance to miss him, because she won’t be left alone — not even for a moment. Hen will have familiar company that pushes her to make a life-changing decision.

Filming will take place in Australia next year.
