Elsa Pataky and Luke Bracey have signed on to star in the Netflix action drama “Interceptor” which marks the directorial debut of Australian action-thriller writer Matthew Reilly.
The story follows an army lieutenant who must utilize her years of tactical training and military expertise when sixteen nuclear missiles are launched at the U.S., and a violent coordinated attack simultaneously threatens her remote missile interceptor station.
Reilly co-wrote the script with Stuart Beattie (“Collateral”) and the latter will produce with Matthew Street and Michael Boughen. Pataky’s husband Chris Hemsworth serves as one of the executive producers.
Reilly says the film will follow the same pace and tone as frenetic, often large scale novels like “Ice Station,” “Contest,” “Scarecrow,” and “Seven Ancient Wonders”.
Production is slated to take place in New South Wales, Australia.
