Ruth Negga Joins Brad Pitt in ‘Ad Astra’

Oscar-nominated actress Ruth Negga will star with Brad Pitt in New Regency’s Ad Astra, James Gray’s upcoming sci-fi epic.

Tommy Lee Jones also is attached to the project, which is described as an adventure film about one man’s journey across a lawless and unforgiving solar system to find his missing father, a renegade scientist who poses a threat to all of mankind.

Negga’s role is being kept under wraps for now.

Gray will direct the feature film from a script he co-wrote with Ethan Gross. New Regency, 20th Century Fox and Bona Film Group are financing the pic. Fox will distribute in the U.S. and internationally in every market except Greater China, where Bona Film Group will distribute.
