Hilary Swank boards “I Am Mother”
Hilary Swank has signed on to star in “I Am Mother”, the Australian sci-fi thriller from director Grant Sputore, The Hollywood Reporter confirms. The film is Sputore's feature film debut.
Swank joins an ensemble cast that includes Clara Rugaard, Luke Hawker and Tahlia Sturzaker. The indie for Southern Lights Films and Penguin Empire is based on a script by Michael Lloyd Green. Kelvin Munro and Timothy White are producing.
Swank is best known for “Boys Don't Cry” and “Million Dollar Baby”, both of which netted her Oscars. Her recent work includes “55 Steps” and Steven Soderbergh's “Logan Lucky”.
“I Am Mother” portrays a teenage girl (Rugaard) raised underground by a robot mother designed to repopulate the earth following an extinction event. Their unique bond is threatened when a blood-drenched stranger, played by Swank, is taken in by the teen, only to find herself at odds with her gear-and-piston parent.
