As shooting gets underway on the estimated $120 million sci-fi project, Roland Emmerich is expanding his already star-studded cast of Moonfall with the additions of Donald Sutherland (Ad Astra) and Eme Ikwuakor (Marvel’s Inhumans), according to Deadline.
Directed by Emmerich, Moonfall begins production this fall in Montreal with a script written by Emmerich, his 2012 co-writer Harald Kloser, and Spenser Cohen.
Emmerich is producing the independent feature film under his Centropolis Entertainment banner with Kloser producing through his company, Street Entertainment.
Moonfall is slated to be released theatrically by Lionsgate in North America in 2021.
