Chris Hemsworth, Miles Teller and Jurnee Smollett have been set to lead “Tron Legacy” and “Top Gun: Maverick” director Joseph Kosinski’s new film “Spiderhead” for Netflix.
Based on the George Saunders short story, the narrative unfolds in the near future when convicts are offered the chance to volunteer as medical subjects in hopes of shortening their sentences.
The focus is on two prisoners who become the test patients for emotion-altering drugs that force the prisoners to grapple with their pasts in a facility run by a brilliant visionary who supervises the program.
“Zombieland” and “Deadpool” scribes Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick penned the script and produce alongside Hemsworth, Eric Newman, Oren Katzeff, Geneva Wasserman, Tommy Harper and Jeremy Steckler.
