A new sci-fi drama titled The Assessment is reportedly in the works, and it's set to star Elizabeth Olsen (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) and Alicia Vikander (Tomb Raider) as a couple living in a world destroyed by climate change.
According to the synopsis (via Screen Daily), the story takes place in a timeline where "part of society has created a parallel world. Life is controlled and optimized, and the desire to have children is not left to chance."
Olsen and Vikander will play a successful young power couple who want to start a family, but must allow as "Assessor" into their lives for seven days to see if they qualify
Anna Kendrick is also said to be circling a role (possibly that of the Assessor), but isn't mentioned in the original report.
The movie will mark the feature debut of music video and short film director Fleur Fortuné, and production is scheduled to get underway in Cologne later this year.
The project appears to have been in development for quite some time, as a video from 2016 has emerged of the writers talking about their story (then titled "The Assessor").
