The movie is being backed by Yale Productions and is directed by Jon Keeyes. The upcoming film also stars actors John Malkovich, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Thaddeus Street.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the story is set after the fall of civilization from a viral outbreak.

Modine will play Sarah, a young woman believed to be immune to the virus and taken prisoner in a refugee camp and eventually befriended by a former FBI agent (Rhys Meyers) who protects her from Aaron.

Keeyes is also producing the movie along with Yale Productions' Jordan Yale Levine and Jordan Beckerman.
