Rajesh Koothrappali & Riddler are joining Adam Sandler on a mission to the edge of the galaxy. Yes, you heard it right. Kunal Nayyar from The Big Bang Theory and Paul Dano from upcoming The Batman had joined hands for Sandler’s next Netflix venture Spaceman.
Couple of days ago, it was announced that Academy Award nominee Carey Mulligan has also joined the cast of Spaceman where she will portray the wife of Sandler’s character. Now with Paul Dano onboard, it will be a reunion between Mulligan and Dano, who previously worked together in the 2018 film Wildlife.
As we mentioned earlier, Dano will soon be seen in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, which is scheduled to premiere in 2022. And for Kunal, after wrapping up the much-talked-about American Sitcom The Big Bang Theory in 2019, he was featured in last year’s Trolls World Tour, Think Like a Dog and Netflix’s Criminal: UK.
Spaceman is based on Spaceman of Bohemia, written by Jaroslav Kalfar. The story of the film revolves around an astronaut, portrayed by Sandler, who was sent to the edge of the galaxy to collect mysterious ancient dust. But, everything turns upside down when he finds his earthly life falling to pieces and to save himself, he must listen to one voice to help him put it back together, which essentially belongs to a creature hidden in his ship from the beginning of time.
Spaceman will reportedly be directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Johan Renck who has recently directed Chernobyl. The film will be produced by Channing Tatum, Reid Carolin, Peter Kiernan and Michael Parets. The executive producers of the film will be Ben Ormand, Renck and Barry Bernad.
There is no news yet on when Spaceman will go on the floor but with these new and extremely talented casts, we are sure that the film is shaping up quite nicely. Stay tuned with Binged.com for further updates on this new intriguing Space-drama.
