Just reading this casting has us on the edge of our seats. John Boyega and Olivia Cooke star in the upcoming film Naked Singularity, a heist thriller recently snagged by Screen Media, according to Variety. Chase Palmer makes his directing debut in the film. He’s best known for co-writing the screenplay for It, starring Bill Skarsgård. Palmer wrote Naked Singularity with David Matthews (Vinyl, Narcos), based on the book by Sergio De La Pava.
The logline reads: “Naked Singularity centers on Casi (John Boyega), a promising young NYC public defender whose idealism is beginning to crack under the daily injustices of the very justice system he’s trying to make right. Doubting all he has worked for and seeing signs of the universe collapsing all around him, he is pulled into a dangerous high-stakes drug heist by an unpredictable former client (Olivia Cooke) in an effort to beat the broken system at its own game.”
