Dimension FIlms Drops ‘Nerverackers’ Off Release Slate
While originally planned for release on April 16, 2010, Dimension Films has taken Robert Rodriguez’s Nerverackers (aka Nerveracker) off of their release slate, which comes as no shock. Dimension Films is known for prematurely announcing release dates, and with Rodriguez already shooting Machete in Austin, Texas, and lining up the reboot Predators for 20th Century Fox, it comes as no surprise that this film is now on the backburner. The futuristic thriller is set in 2085, with the story centering on a character named Joe Tezca who is part of an elite unit dispatched to quell a crime wave in a theoretically perfect future society.
When the project was originally announced, Christina Hendricks was set to star in Reckoner, but Deadline lets us know that Noomi Rapace (Prometheus) has taken over the leading role.
The site reports this afternoon, “Prometheus and Constellation star Rapace is replacing Christina Hendricks who is no longer attached due to scheduling conflicts, we understand.”
Nissar Modi (Z for Zachariah) is writing and directing Reckoner.
“The plot will follow an affluent woman whose carefully constructed life is disrupted by a young man connected to a tightly-held secret from her past.”
The film is based on a short story written by Rachel Ingalls.
XYZ Films and Two & Two Pictures are producing.
“We are immensely excited to join forces with an exceptionally talented team for Reckoner. It is an honour to have Noomi Rapace on board to complement Nissar’s electrifying directorial debut,” Two & Two Pictures said in an official statement shared by Deadline today.
