OHMYGOSSIP — Dan Stevens is reuniting with Adam Wingard for ‘Onslaught’.
The filmmaker, 41, and ‘Downton Abbey’ actor, 42, who worked together on the 2024 action sci-fi picture ‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’, as well as the 2014 nail-biter ‘The Guest’, are reuniting for Adam’s new project that is described as a gonzo action horror thriller.
Plot details on the movie – which is also starring Adria Arjona – are being kept largely under wraps but shooting is set to start in New Mexico later this month.
Arjona plays a mother who relies on a particular set of skills to protect her loved ones after she is faced by a threat that has escaped a secret military base while Stevens features in a supporting role as a German scientist working on experiments that escape.
Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett are to produce ‘Onslaught’ under their Ryder Picture Company banner alongside A24. Alexander Black is also producing for Lyrical Media.
The ‘Abigail’ star explained earlier this year how he was thrilled to be able to work with the filmmaker on a big-budget flick.
Speaking to Deadline at the premiere of ‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ in March, he said: “The highlight for me was getting to work with him on something of this scale was just incredible.
“And to see how much fun he’s having as a filmmaker still, given that we worked together [for the] first time almost 10 years ago on something a lot smaller than this, and he’s really preserved the spirit of indie filmmaking on a massive scale.”
“You’re in good hands with an Adam Wingard movie.”
