Fans of Daryl Dixon on The Walking Dead will be happy to hear that Norman Reedus is starring in a new sci-fi movie. Not venturing too far out of Walking Dead territory, The Hollywood Reporter reveals that the story involves two custodial workers that take care of a cryogenic facility after a nuclear fallout:
"The story is set in an underground cryogenic facility after a nuclear fallout renders the atmosphere unbreathable. Air centers on its two custodial workers (Reedus, Hounsou), who take care of the cryogenically sleeping personnel that are to re-establish society, but they struggle to preserve their own sanity and lives while maintaining the extremely fragile environment of the last livable place on earth."
Joining Reedus in the movie is Djimon Hounsou (Gladiator, Blood Diamond, Fast & Furious 7) and it's said that Robert Kirkman will be producing with David Alpert, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Chris Ferguson. Christian Cantamessa will be directing the movie and also co-wrote the script with Chris Pasetto. According to the original report, Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions is looking to acquire the project.
