Greta Lee (Past Lives) and Kingsley Ben-Adir (Bob Marley: One Love) are in talks to star in director and producer Louis Leterrier’s (The Incredible Hulk, Now You See Me) upcoming sci-fi horror film 11817.

In the film, “Inexplicable forces trap a family of four inside their house indefinitely. As both modern luxuries and life or death essentials begin to run out, the family must learn how to be resourceful to survive and outsmart who — or what — is keeping them trapped…”

Leterrier previously talked about the movie, saying: “Directing projects where the audience gets behind the characters has always been my focus. However complex, flawed, heroic, we identify with them as we live through their journey.”

He added: “It’s what excites me about 11817‘s wholly original concept and the family at the heart of our story. This is an experience that movie audiences won’t forget.”

Obviously, the filmmaker feels that Lee and Ben-Adir are the actors that he wants to see bring his characters to life.

Lee is coming off a string of hits including Past Lives, Apple TV drama The Morning Show and Sony’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, while Ben-Adir’s last two movies include Bob Marley: One Love and Barbie.

Additional casting is underway on the project, which is based on a script by Matthew Robinson.
