Dune's Rebecca Ferguson is set to star in Mercy, an intriguing new sci-fi thriller from Amazon's MGM Studios. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy's Chris Pratt is already attached to the proj🐬ect, though the supporting cast remains under wraps fo🏅r now.

According to , Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) will direct, working from a script by Marco van Belle. Majd Nassif and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oppenheimer's Charles Roven ar𓄧e locked in to produce. Filming is expect to start sometime inꦜ the next couple of months.

We're curious as to how the sci-fi elements will be weaved in, as all we know of the plot so far is that it'll center around Pratt'ဣs detective, as he tries to prove his innocence after being accused of a violent crime.

Ferguson can currently be seen in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dune: Part Two, the eagerly anticipated sequel to Denis Villeneuve's 2021 adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel. Its prede🐻cessor centers on Paul Atreides (Timothé𒀰;e Chalamet), the son of a powerful Duke, whose life gets turned upside down when his father Leto (Oscar Isaac) accepts a stewardship role on the hostile planet of Arrakis. At the end of Part 1, Paul and his mother, Lady Jessica (Ferguson), align themselves with the desert world's people, the Fremen, in an attempt to free it from the unlawful, brutal Harkonnens and fulfil Leto's dream of bringing peace to the land.

Part 2, which has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:already shatte🉐red box-office records, picks up right where Part 1 left off, with Paul, Jessica, and Chani (Zendaya) making a play against Christopher Walken's scheming Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV and the powerful Bene Gesserit. What's in store beyond that when it comes to the big screen – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:HBOꦏ is currently developing a spin-off series – remains a mystery for now, though V♐illeneuve has voiced his desire to develop a third movie.

Pratt will next be heard in Garfield, a new animated take on the lazy, lasagna-loving, Monday-hating moggy, as he causes problems for his oꩵwner Jon Arbuckle, and J൲on's sweet-natured dog Odie.
