Based on Iain Reid’s bestselling novel, ”Lion” director Garth Davis will helm the film from a script he wrote with the author.According to Deadline, ”Foe” is a taut, sensual, psychological mind-bender set in the near future where corporate power and environmental decay are ravaging the planet.
Junior (Mescal) and Hen (Ronan) are a young couple married seven years and living a solitary life on their isolated farm. One night, a stranger named Terrance (Stanfield) 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. Hen will have familiar company that pushes her to make a life-changing decision.
Davis, who always wanted to make a sci-fi feature, said the novel was an unputdownable read for him.
