It's been announced that Sam Worthington and The Affair and THE LONE RANGER actress Ruth Wilson are set to star alongside Sofia Boutella (KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE) in an "elevated sci-fi" flick called THE TITAN. Lennart Ruff will make his feature film directorial debut with the movie, with Motion Picture Capital, GRACE OF MONACO screenwriter Arash Amel, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones of Automatik, and 42's Ben Pugh and Rory Aitken producing.

Max Hurwitz (Hell on Wheels) wrote the script based on an original story by Amel, which follows "the journey of a military family who are relocated in order to take part in a ground-breaking experiment of man’s genetic evolution into space."

Arash Amel on THE TITAN:

The Titan is, at its core, a love story that is set in the pioneering edge of space exploration, a world of fear and wonder. In Brian and Ben, I’ve been lucky enough to find smart, dedicated producing partners to embark on this adventure with, and we now find ourselves surrounded by a highly talented group of artists led by Ruth Wilson and Sam Worthington, under the direction of the incredible Lennart Ruff. I’m very excited that this team will be bringing this passion project to the screen, and to continue the relationship with Automatik, 42, and Motion Picture Capital.

No word on when the movie might be released, but it will start filming in Europe on January 18. Does the premise of THE TITAN pique your interest?

Sam Worthington can be seen next in Baltasar Kormakur's EVEREST on September 25, 2015, while season two of The Affair will premiere on Showtime on October 4.
