From Google News: Hawke to play time-travelling agent
Ethan Hawke is set to star as a time-travelling crime fighter in new film Predestination.
The
sci-fi action thriller has been written by brothers Michael and Peter
Spierig, who worked with Ethan on hit horror film Daybreakers.
The
Training Day star will play a "temporal government agent sent on an
intricate series of time-travel journeys designed to stop future
killers", Variety reports.
The Spierig brothers said:
"Predestination is based on the classic Robert A Heinlein short story
All You Zombies. No, it's not a Zombie flick, but it's one of our
favourite short stories and is unlike anything you've ever read before.
"The
short is on many sci-fi lists as one of the greatest short stories of
all time, and the mother of all time paradox tales. Heinlein is
considered one of the great science fiction masters alongside Phillip K
Dick, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C Clarke."
The brothers will also direct and co-produce the movie for Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions.
Filming is due to begin in Australia at the beginning of next year.
