Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Jurnee Smollett (Lovecraft Country), and Miles Teller (Whiplash) will be appearing in the new upcoming Netflix feature adaptation, Spiderhead. This new sci-fi thriller is based on the short story by George Saunders, and adapted by writing partners Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool, Zombieland), directed by Joseph Kosinski.
Spiderhead is set in the near future, when convicts are offered the chance to volunteer as medical subjects in hopes of shortening their sentences. The focus is on two prisoners who become the test patients for emotion-altering drugs that force the prisoners to grapple with their pasts in a facility run by a brilliant visionary who supervises the program.
