Sydney Sweeney & Vanessa Kirby Are Very In-Demand
Based on two different accounts of the same true story, the film is being described as "a darkly comic tale of murder and survival, set around a group of eclectic characters who abandon civilization for the Galapagos. They are all searching for the answer to that ever-pressing question that plagues us all: what is the meaning of life." Producing are Imagine Entertainment's Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Karen Lunder; AGC Studios' Stuart Ford; and Bill Connor and Patrick Newall.
Heck of a cast for this one. Sydney Sweeney and Vanessa Kirby are two of the most in-demand actresses working right now. Rumors have had Kirby attached to Fantastic Four at Marvel Studios, while Sweeney has filmed her role as Julia Carpenter in Sony's Madame Web film. That film is slated for release on February 16th as of right now. Ron Howard has been making some of his best work these last few years, so grabbing these two for Eden is a huge coup—more on this one as we find it out.
