For the film "Midway – For Freedom", director Roland Emmerich (64) and actor Patrick Wilson (46) made common cause. In the upcoming sci-fi blockbuster "Moonfall" by the native of Stuttgart, the successful collaboration of the two is now to be repeated, as the US website "The Hollywood Reporter" wants to find out exclusively. According to him, Wilson will play the male lead role alongside actress Halle Berry (53), whose participation in the disaster film was announced about a month ago.
By the way, the name says it all when it comes to filming the action bomb that is typical of Emmerich: for some reason, the moon loses its conventional orbit around the earth and therefore threatens to crash down on it. A disgraced NASA astronaut (Wilson) and his former colleague (Berry) naturally want / should / must prevent this catastrophe at all costs and immediately clarify its circumstances.
Filming for "Moonfall" in Montreal is slated to begin next fall. The Hollywood Reporter already mentions the year 2021 as a potential cinema date.
