Eric Bana (Star Trek, Hulk) and Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, The Silence)  are set to star in the Ridley Scott-produced thriller Berlin Nobody, writes Deadline. Jordan Scott (known for her Eva Greene and Juno Temple-starring debut Cracks) writes and directs from a script inspired by Nicholas Hogg’s 2015 novel Tokyo.

The Berlin-set film follows American social psychologist Ben Monroe (Bana) in his investigation of a local cult connected to a disturbing event. While he immerses himself in his inquiry, his teenage daughter Mazzy (Shipka) gets involved with a mysterious local boy, who introduces her to Berlin’s underground scene. As these two worlds are set on a collision course, Mazzy finds herself in too deep, and Ben will need to race against the clock to save her.

Scott and Michael Pruss are production under their Scott Free banner, alongside Augenschein’s Jonas Katzenstein and Maximilian Leo, and Georgina Pope.

“Berlin Nobody is the ultimate package – a tense and taut psychological thriller produced by two companies at the top of their game, helmed by a new and exciting visionary director, Jordan, and led by the fiercely talented Eric and Kiernan,” stated George Hamilton, Chief Commercial Officer at Protagonist Pictures (the company is handling worldwide sales on the title). “We can’t wait to introduce this project to distributors around the world, in partnership with Jonathan Saubach and our friends at Augenschein.”

Berlin Nobody is due to begin filming in September, with a release date TBA.
