Dune’s Rebecca Ferguson is set to star in Mercy, an intriguing new sci-fi thriller from Amazon’s MGM Studios.Guardians of the Galaxy’s Chris Pratt is already attached to the project, though the supporting cast remains under wraps for now.
We’re curious as to how the sci-fi elements will be weaved in, as all we know of the plot so far is that it’ll center around Pratt’s detective, as he tries to prove his innocence after being accused of a violent crime.
Part 2, which hasalready shattered box-office records, picks up right where Part 1 left off, with Paul, Jessica, and Chani (Zendaya) making a play against Christopher Walken’s scheming Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV and the powerful Bene Gesserit. What’s in store beyond that when it comes to the big screen –HBO is currently developing a spin-off series– remains a mystery for now, though Villeneuve has voiced his desire to develop a third movie.
Pratt will next beheardinGarfield, a new animated take on the lazy, lasagna-loving, Monday-hating moggy, as he causes problems for his owner Jon Arbuckle, and Jon’s sweet-natured dog Odie.
