Patrick Wilson Heads to Space for ‘Independence Day’ Director Roland Emmerich’s Sci-fi Film ‘Moonfall’
Announced last year, Independence Day, Godzilla and Independence Day: Resurgence director Roland Emmerich has set his next project, a sci-fi epic titled Moonfall.
Halle Berry and Josh Gad were recently announced for the Lionsgate film, and THR updates today that Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) has also joined the cast.
Charlie Plummer (All the Money in the World) has been announced as well.
“Wilson will play a disgraced former NASA astronaut whose last mission, which ended in tragedy, holds a clue about the impending catastrophe. Plummer will play his teenage son.”
Moonfall is said to “imagine a disaster in which a mysterious force knocks the moon from its orbit, sending it on a collision course towards earth. With little time to spare, a ragtag team launches a last-ditch mission to the moon, hoping to solve the mystery and save the earth from annihilation.”
The script was written by Emmerich, Harald Kloser, and Spenser Cohen.
