Neil Burger, the director behind hit movies Limitless and Divergent, is currently working on his next sci-fi flick titled Voyagers, and he managed to round up a pretty impressive cast for this promising project.

Burger’s next movie will be led by Colin Farrell, who’ll have amazing support in Tye Sheridan (Ready Player One), Lily-Rose Depp (Yoga Hosers), Fionn Whitehead (Dunkirk), and Isaac Hempstead Wright (Game of Thrones).

Voyagers will focus on a group of 30 children, who are sent on a multi-generational mission to populate a new planet. This plan falls through after the captain of the mission is killed, and they end up descending into chaos and forming tribes between themselves.

Burger’s new project has been described as “Lord of the Flies in space” and it will serve as his comeback to sci-fi. He hasn’t worked on a genre film since 2014 when Divergent hit the theaters, and his last directorial effort was dramedy The Upside, starring Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston.
