Logan Marshall-Green (Prometheus) has signed on to star in Stem, a sci-fi thriller from writer-director Leigh Whannell (Saw, Insidious), which is set to go into production in Whannell’s home town of Melbourne, Australia.
THR is reporting that the project “is set in a near-future when technology controls nearly all aspects of life and centers on a technophobe (Marshall-Green) who avenges his wife’s murder and his own paralysis-causing injury with the help of an experimental computer chip implant called Stem.”
Stem will mark the second directorial outing for Whannell after 2015’s Insidious: Chapter 3, and is being produced by Blumhouse Productions. Marshall-Green will next be seen in Spider-Man: Homecoming, where he is portraying an as-yet-unrevealed villain.
