The project will specifically focus on two prisoners who are exposed to emotional-altering drugs in a program overseen by a “brilliant visionary,” with the drugs forcing them to confront their pasts.
According to Deadline, Chris Hemsworth will be joined by Whiplash’s Miles Teller (who previously worked with Joseph Kosinski on Top Gun: Maverick) and Birds of Prey’s Jurnee Smollett on Spiderhead, which is set in the near future, when convicts are offered the opportunity to shorten their sentences by becoming medical test subjects.
