Jonathan Nolan & Lisa Joy's The Peripheral adds Jack Reynor
-----------------------------------------------------------
According to Deadline, Cherry actor Jack Reynor has joined
the cast of Amazon's upcoming series The Peripheral in
which he will co-star alongside Chloe Grace Moretz.
The sci-fi thriller from Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan
and Lisa Joy is based on the bestselling novel by William
Gibson which centers around a woman named Flynne (Moretz)
and her brother Burton (Reynor). In the story, Burton, a
veteran of the United States Marine Corps' elite Haptic
Recon force, takes a job working security in a video
game/virtual world for a Colombian company called Milagros
Coldiron. When Burton is called away on an assignment,
Flynne takes his position and witnesses a gruesome murder,
though she is uncertain whether the event is real or part
of some twisted virtual game.
Scott B. Smith will write the hour-long series and serve
as an executive producer and showrunner, while Jonathan
Nolan and Lisa Joy will also executive produce along with
Steven Hoban and Kilter Films' Athena Wickham. In the Tall
Grass director Vincenzo Natali is set to helm the series
and likewise serve as executive producer.
Reynor recently appeared in Joe and Anthony Russo's Cherry
alongside Tom Holland, but rose to fame in films such as
Dollhouse (2012), Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
and the thriller Midsommar (2019).
