Oscar-nominated Australian actress Jacki Weaver is in negotiations to join the futuristic love story "Equals" says Deadline.
The story is set in the idyllic future society The
Collective inhabited by 'Equals', humans that are peaceful, calm, fair,
and polite. A new disease: SOS, or Switched-On-Syndrome, is activating
in its victims everything they thought they'd escaped: depression,
sensitivity, fear, and love. Once a person is overtaken with SOS, they
are sent away and never seen again. Nicholas Hoult plays a young infected man named Silas who
discovers Nia (Kristen Stewart) has feelings, but she seems to be able to hide
them. When he confronts her, they feel love and intimacy for the first
time in their lives.
Weaver would play Bess, a powerful woman trained as a
doctor who meets Hoult's character in a support group and ultimately
helps him.
Guy Pearce, Kate Lyn Sheil and Aurora Perrineau also star.
The premise comes courtesy of Moon writer Nathan Parker from which Drake Doremus will call the shots.
Doremus worked with Pearce on the film “Breathe In" Details of who Pearce plays are not known
Ridley Scott, Michael Schaefer, Ann Ruark, Jay Stern and Chip Diggins will produce.
Production begins in Japan and Singapore in August.
