Ewan McGregor has signed on to star in the Gerald McMorrow-directed futuristic thriller "Franklyn".
Set simultaneously in contemporary London and in a future metropolis where there is no separation between church and state.
The story follows four lost souls, - Esser, Milo, Emillia, and Preest - divided by two parallel worlds, on course for a cataclysmic collision when a single bullet will decide all their fates.
Preest is a masked vigilante detective, searching for his nemesis on the streets of Meanwhile City; a monolithic fantasy metropolis ruthlessly governed by faith and religious fervor.
Esser is a broken man, searching for his wayward son amongst the rough streets of London's homeless.
Milo is a heartbroken thirty-something desperately trying to find a way back to purity of first love.
Emilia is a beautiful art student, her suicidal art projects are becoming increasing more complex and deadly.
Shooting begins next summer in the U.K.
