Donald Sutherland and Eme Ikwuakor (“Inhumans”) wil join Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, Stanley Tucci, John Bradley and Charlie Plummer in Roland Emmerich’s $136 million independently produced sci-fi epic “Moonfall” which has just begun filming in Montreal.
The feature sees a mysterious force knock the Moon from its orbit around Earth and send it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it. With only weeks before impact, a ragtag team launches a last-ditch mission into space to land on the lunar surface and save the planet from annihilation.
Sutherland will play the gatekeeper of NASA’s secret archives, who struggles with his conscience whether to tell the world the truth about what really happened during the Apollo moon landings. Ikwuakor will play a high-ranking military official and estranged father to the son of Halle Berry’s character.
Emmerich co-wrote the film with Harald Kloser and Spenser Cohen and Lionsgate is planning a 2022 theatrical release.
