According to The Hollywood Reporter, New Regency and director James Gray’s Ad Astra movie has added Academy Award-nominated actress Ruth Negga (Preacher, Warcraft, Loving) to co-star with Brad Pitt and Tommy Lee Jones.
Gray, who last wrote and directed The Lost City of Z, wrote the Ad Astra movie with Fringe scribe Ethan Gross.
Ruth Negga is currently reprising her role as Tulip O’Hare on Season 2 of AMC’s hit series Preacher, which still has four episodes remaining to air.
RT Features, which financed development of the Ad Astra movie, also has Sophie Mas and Lourenço Sant’Anna serving as executive producers.
