In an official statement, Hood described the film as “a heart-pounding psychological thriller, set in an authoritarian near-future that grabbed me by the throat and left me reeling.”
As we await to see his turns in Steve McQueen’s Small Axe and Naked Singularity, John Boyega has found his next project in the form of an adaptation of Silvain Neuvel’s The Test, which is set to be directed by Gavin Hood (Eye in the Sky), according to Deadline.
The script for the project was adapted by Hood, known best for his Oscar-winning crime drama Tsotsi, while Erwin Stoff is attached to produce and Zev Foreman and Ilda Diffley are overseeing the film for Entertainment One.
When he wasn’t busy soaring through space, he also found acclaim with his appearances in the biographical drama Detroit as well as offering turns in Pacific Rim: Uprising, The Circle and Netflix’s CG-animated adaptation of Watership Down.
