Jeff Daniels To Star Opposite Brendan Fraser In Sci-Fi Thriller STARMAN

Two-time Emmy winner Jeff Daniels ("The Newsroom", "The Martian") is set to star in the upcoming sci-fi thriller "Starman" written and directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Josh Wakely ("Beat Bugs", "Motown Magic"). Filming is set to begin this summer.

The film follows Tom Adams (Brendan Fraser), an architect of the future who launches a historic expedition to Mars, positioning himself at the forefront of humanity's next great frontier. But when unforeseen events strand him millions of miles from Earth, his mission becomes an urgent race against time—driven not by survival alone, but by love. Daniels will play Ed Watkins, the protective and powerful co-leader of a transformational company he built alongside Tom, a man who means far more to Ed than the company itself.

The film is produced by Wakely and Rebecca Graham through Grace: A Storytelling Company. Eddie Vaisman also produces via Sight Unseen ("Rental Family"). David S. Goyer ("Batman Begins") executive produces alongside Tarek Sherif, Ryan Graves, Matt Tedder and Sight Unseen's Julia Lebedev. The film is financed by Sherif and Graves. Anton is handling international sales.

Daniels can next be seen opposite Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon in the upcoming fifth season of Apple's "The Morning Show". He is also set to star as former President Ronald Reagan in the Cold War thriller "The Brink of War" opposite J.K. Simmons and Jared Harris. He recently wrapped production on Netflix's "2034" directed by Joseh Gordon Levitt, in which he stars opposite Rachel McAdams.

New on DVD and Blu-ray: THE LOOMING TOWER Miniseries

<< BUY NOW >>

Product Description: The Looming Tower traces the rising threat of Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda in the late 1990s and how at the time, the FBI and the CIA may have inadvertently set the path for the tragedy of 9/11. The series follows members of the I-49 Squad in New York and Alec Station in Washington D.C., the counter terrorism divisions of the FBI and CIA, respectively, as they travel the world fighting for ownership of information while seemingly working toward the same goal – trying to prevent an imminent terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

Jeff Daniels stars as I-49 Squad chief John O’Neill who faces a deliberate lack of cooperation from other intelligence organizations within the federal government, after he’s convinced the United States has been targeted for an attack by Al-Qaeda. His counterpart within the CIA, the frequently antagonistic Martin Schmidt (Peter Sarsgaard), assumes the CIA is the only government agency equipped to battle potential terror threats from abroad. He disobeys presidential orders and purposely keeps information from the FBI. Although the goal of both organizations is the same, preventing a terrorist attack from happening in the U.S., the competitive nature between the two agencies and their inability to work with one another, may have given Al-Qaeda operatives in the U.S. the opportunity to put their devastating plan in motion.
