Alicia Vikander to Fight Underground Monsters in Freakshift (Armie Hammer Joins Cast)

Alicia Vikander to Fight Underground Monsters in Ben Wheatley's FREAKSHIFT

Alicia Vikander is in talks to star in Ben Wheatley’s hotly anticipated project Freakshift, an all-guns-blazing action thriller about a band of misfits who hunt down and kill nocturnal underground monsters.

Should the deal make, the much-in-demand Vikander would play the lead female protagonist in the cops-vs.-monsters tale. Deadline hears the project is eyeing an August start date, which would fit in with Vikander’s schedule as she’s due to wrap Tomb Raider in early summer.

Freakshift looks set to be even more badass and more ambitious, with Wheatley directing from script he co-wrote with writing partner Amy Jump.

Wheatley's first directorial feature was the 2009 Brit gangster breakout Down Terrace. Since then, he’s helmed cult chiller Kill List, horror comedy Sightseers, low-budget A Field in England, an adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s High Rise as well as Free Fire.

This project sounds a lot of fun. We have Oscar winner and cutie Alicia Vikander in a Ben Wheatley "all-guns-blazing" action horror thriller about a government-organized group of misfits battling underground monsters. I'll be keeping a close eye on this one.

 

[trolololol]

Is this the small breasted Laura Croft?

Meh.

 

[loyalyolayal]

Inb4 humans are the bad guys and the monsters just want to be left alone.

Kill List was so weird and creepy

Armie Hammer Joins Alicia Vikander in Battling Monsters in FREAKSHIFT

Armie Hammer will star with Alicia Vikander in the Ben Wheatley-directed Freakshift, the action thriller about a band of misfit cops who hunt down and kill nocturnal underground monsters.

Vikander is the lead female protagonist and Hammer plays her love interest, with production gearing up for August. This marks a quick re-team with Wheatley, who wrote the script with Amy Jump.

Hammer co-stars in his new film, Free Fire, the Brie Larson-starrer that bows in the U.S. on April 21 through A24. Sam Riley, Sharlto Copley, Armie Hammer, Cillian Murphy and Jack Reynor also star.

Hammer’s on a good run. He’s coming off Nocturnal Animals, and aside from Free Fire, he voices Jackson Storm in Cars 3 for Disney. He received strong festival notices for Call Me By Your Name. He was also at the Berlin Film Festival with the Stanley Tucci-directed Final Portrait, starring opposite Geoffrey Rush. He just wrapped Hotel Mumbai, the Anthony Maras-directed drama that stars Dev Patel.

ugh.

Armie Hammer is like feminism. Something we don't want that they keep pushing down our throats.

R.I.P.D. vibe from it... not a good one.

Spoiler: the movie poster, it's big so I put the spoilers tag

For what did Vikander win an Oscar?

 

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

Not a big fan of Armie as well but I thought he was very good in the underrated fun pic The Man from UNCLE as the unstoppable Soviet spy.

For what did Vikander win an Oscar?

Best Supporting Actress for The Danish Girl.
