The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that John Boyega (Star Wars: Episode IX) is set to star in A Naked Singularity, based on the 2008 novel of the same name by Sergio De La Pava.
The novel “explores the American criminal justice system,” and served as the debut novel for De La Pava, who has gone on to write “Personae,” “Lost Empress,” and the article “A Day’s Sail.”
Per the report, the story follows Cast, a young public defender who begins to question everything after he loses a case.
Boyega is best known for his role as Finn in the recent Star Wars series, but has appeared in such films as Detroit, Pacific Rim: Uprising, and the upcoming animated TV mini-series Watership Down.
