Simon Pegg to star in schizophrenia film Lost Transmissions
According to Deadline, Simon Pegg is set to star in Lost Transmissions, the directorial debut of writer Katharine O’Brien (who also wrote the script). The movie is about a “shy songwriter” named Hannah who has to gather her group of friends to help chase down one of her other friends, “respected record producer Theo Ross,” after he stops taking his schizophrenia medication and tries to run from his “colorful delusions through the glamour and grit of Los Angeles.” Also, the film is about “the unsung heroes behind the hits,” and it goes from “the highs of rock ‘n’ roll to rock bottom.” The Deadline story doesn’t specify, but Pegg will most likely be playing the record producer.
