With seven theatrical releases to her name this year, one is certainly familiar with Alicia Vikander, and she’s showing no signs of slowing down. Following Ex Machina, The Danish Girl, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Testament of Youth, and more, she’s already off at work on the next Bourne film and now she’s signed up for another project.
Variety reports she’s joined Submergence, the latest film from Wim Wenders and an adaptation of J.M. Ledgard‘s novel. Already set to star James McAvoy, the story runs across the globe and shifts focus between James More, an English reporter, as he’s held captive by jiahdists in Somalia, and Danielle Flinders, a “biomathematician” exploring life on the ocean floor. As former lovers in their own perilous situations, they both remember better times spent at a French hotel on the Atlantic coast.
Scripted by Erin Dignam (The Last Face), Wenders is expected to roll cameras towards the end of March in Europe and Africa. Meanwhile, we have a worthwhile 30-minute talk with the actress as she discusses her various performances of the year, how she chooses projects, how it’s difficult to take a break, and more.
