Stanley Tucci and “Game of Thrones” actor John Bradley will star alongside Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, and Charlie Plummer in Roland Emmerich’s space epic “Moonfall” at Lionsgate which begins filming this month in Montreal.
Things begin when a mysterious force that knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it. With mere weeks before impact, a ragtag team launches an impossible last-ditch mission into space to save our planet from annihilation.
Tucci will play Tom Phillips, a wealthy car dealer married to Brian Harper’s (Wilson) ex-wife. Bradley plays KC Houseman, an eccentric and unkempt genius who discovers that the moon has fallen out of its orbit.
Bradley replaces Josh Gad who was originally cast but had to pull out due to a scheduling conflict. Emmerich co-wrote the script with Harald Kloser and Spenser Cohen.
