Los Angeles [US], May 9 (ANI): The much-awaited film 'Strange Arrivals' has officially been announced, with Oscar-nominated actors Demi Moore and Colman Domingo set to lead, according to Deadline.
The upcoming film will focus on science fiction and be based on the real-life story of Betty and Barney Hill, an interracial couple who claimed to have been abducted by aliens in 1961.
According to the publication, the film is adapted from a podcast by Toby Ball and will be directed by Oscar winner Roger Ross Williams, known for Stamped from the Beginning. Jane Anderson, the Emmy-winning writer behind The Wife and Olive Kitteridge, has written the screenplay.
Strange Arrivals is being produced by See-Saw Films and developed through their label "I Am That." The story follows Betty and Barney Hill, whose alleged alien abduction brought them sudden fame--but also deeply tested their relationship.
According to Deadline, Williams, in a statement about the project, said, "As a director, to be able to work with actors at the top of their craft is a dream. Demi and Colman coming together for the first time to bring Jane Anderson's beautiful script that illuminates the human condition to life will be magic. I am also thrilled to work alongside the remarkable team at See-Saw. They have an amazing track record of making artist-driven stories, and we couldn't be in better hands."
Moore was recently nominated for an Oscar for The Substance and stars in Landman on Paramount+. Domingo received an Oscar nomination for Sing Sing and is currently starring in Netflix's The Four Seasons.
Production and release dates are yet to be announced. (ANI)
