Hereditary actress, Toni Collette has been cast in Joe Penna’s sci-fi thriller Stowaway joining Anna Kendrick.
Collette will play a commander in the film, while Kendrick plays a medical researcher.
The story revolves around a mission headed to Mars, where an unintended stowaway accidentally causes severe damage to the spaceship’s life support systems. Facing dwindling resources and a potentially grim outcome, a medical researcher (Kendrick) emerges as the only dissenting voice against the clinical logic of both her commander (Collette) and the ship’s biologist.
