Twenty years after
Requiem for a Dream
, Darren Aronofsky and Jared Leto will meet for a new project.
According to Deadline, the actor has signed on to join the cast of
Adrift
, a film set to be directed and co-written by the filmmaker.
It is the actor of
Suicide Squad
who "found" the project, according to the publication, and who tried to obtain the rights to a short story by Koji Suzuki (author of
The Ring
) for 10 years to make an adaptation.
No other details on the casting have yet been revealed, but Jared Leto wants to play the lead role in this thriller which is obviously very close to his heart.
Disturbing
Early plot information reveals that
Adrift
will take place on the high seas, where a fishing boat meets a drifting yacht, with a strange distress signal.
A member of the crew agrees to come aboard to tow it to port, but he will quickly understand why the other sailors say it is a “ghost ship”.
For the moment, the film obviously has no release date, having not yet been signed by any distributor.
Darren Aronoksy will also have to wait until the end of the shooting of
The Whale
, his next film, with Brendan Fraser, whose production starts next March.
Jared Leto, for his part, has a busy news since in addition to playing in the
Snyder's Cut
of
Justice League
(in the role of Joker, which he played in
Suicide Squad
), he will star in
Gucci
by Ridley Scott, and will be the poster for
Morbius
, the
Spider-Man
spin-off
, where he plays the title role.
