While many people are awaiting word on Fargo showrunner's solo Doctor Doom film for FOX, Noah Hawley will first make his feature directorial debut with an original science-fiction film called Pale Blue Dot which will see him reteam with his Legion star Dan Stevens.
Stevens joins a cast consisting of Annihilation's Natalie Portman, Mad Men's Jon Hamm and Zazie Beetz, who we will next see on-screen as Domino in the upcoming Deadpool 2. Taking its title from a Carl Sagan quote, Pale Blue Dot follows a successful astronaut (Portman) who, after coming back home from a mission in space, starts to unravel when confronted by her seemingly perfect American-dream life.
The film explores the theory that astronauts who spend long periods of time in space begin to lose their sense of reality when they return to earth and is inspired by a true story. Stevens will reportedly play Portman's husband who she cheats on with Jon Hamm as her life spirals out of control. The film is written by Brian C Brown and Elliott DiGuiseppit with revisions by John-Henry Butterworth and Hawley himself.
Pale Blue Dot is currently in pre-production with no set release date.
