House Of Cards’ Kate Mara is strengthening her ongoing relationship with Fox as the actress has now signed up to star in its upcoming sci-fi thriller Morgan. While this will be Mara’s third sci-fi collaboration with the studio, it’s touted as the first for its director, Luke Scott. Son of filmmaker Ridley Scott – who recently directed Mara in The Martian – Scott will make his break into features on the movie.
The forthcoming flick is set up at the studio via Scott Free Productions, with Ridley Scott, Michael Schaefer and Elishia Holmes all on board to produce. The trio developed the pic in-house alongside Luke Scott and writer Seth Owen, whose screenplay landed on the 2014 Blacklist – a celebrated collection of the best unproduced screenplays in Hollywood.

Like the genetic matter those brainy Engineers scatter about in Prometheus, Ridley Scott’s DNA is a potent filmmaking force in its own right. Two of his offspring, oldest son Jake (Welcome To The Rileys, Plunkett & Macleane) and daughter Jordan (Cracks), have already directed movies and now the third, Luke Scott, is joining them with his debut film Morgan. The sci-fi thriller has just added Kate Mara to its cast list.Mara will be joined by newcomer Anya Taylor-Joy, who impressed Sundance audiences with her turn in buzzed-about horror The Witch. Morgan's plot focuses on a corporate risk-management consultant, although the actual corporate risk-management depicted on screen will likely be kept to a minimum when the consultant is summoned to a remote lab to evaluate an artificial being with a view to its termination.There’s shades of Ex Machina in Seth Owen’s 2014 Black List script, although it also taps into Ridley’s A.

So, I wonder what his son, Luke Scott, has taken from his father and what he is developed on his own, as he is making his directorial debut with the film Morgan. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting Kate Mara ("House of Cards") has signed on to the project along with up and comer Anya Taylor-Joy. Mara is continuing to establish herself as a very good actor, and if she is the lead in this film (which I am presuming), I'm glad she's getting that opportunity. Taylor-Joy may be an unknown name to most of you now, but she made a big splash at this year's Sundance with her film debut in The Witch,...
