Casey Affleck-Starring Sci-Fi Thriller ‘Slingshot' Goes to Bleecker Street

Bleecker Street has picked up the U.S. rights to Mikael Håfström's sci-fi thriller Slingshot, which stars Casey Affleck, Laurence Fishburne and Emily Beecham.

Bleecker Street plans a 2024 wide theatrical release for the film about an astronaut struggling to retain his grip on reality on a possibly fatally compromised space mission to Saturn's moon, Titan.

The ensemble cast include Tomer Capone and David Morrissey. R. Scott Adams and Nathan Parker (Moon) penned the screenplay for Slingshot, and Astral Pictures produced in association with Bluestone Entertainment, Széchenyi Funds Ltd. and Filmsquad.

Bluestone Entertainment, Hungarian investor Széchenyi Funds Ltd. and Filmsquad are behind writer-director James Vanderbilt's Nuremberg, set to star Russell Crowe, Rami Malek and Michael Shannon, and with cameras to roll later this month in Hungary.
