Netflix has closed a multimillion-dollar deal for near-global rights to sci-fi survival thriller “Stowaway” starring Anna Kendrick, Toni Collette and Daniel Dae Kim.
Joe Penna directs and co-writes the film with Ryan Morrison, the pair having worked together previously on the acclaimed Mads Mikkelsen survival thriller “Arctic”.
“Stowaway” unfolds during a mission to Mars when an unintended stowaway accidentally causes severe damage to the spaceship’s life-support systems.
Facing dwindling resources and a potentially grim outcome, a medical researcher (Kendrick) emerges as the only dissenting voice against the clinical logic of both her commander (Collette) and the ship’s biologist (Kim).
Netflix will release the just completed film in the U.S., UK, Australia/New Zealand, India, Latin America, Africa and a host of other major markets in Asia and Europe sometime in 2021.
