\n\tEXCLUSIVE<\/strong>: Mads Mikkelsen<\/a>\u00a0(Doctor Strange) and\u00a0Diane Kruger<\/a>\u00a0(Inglorious Basterds) have been set to star in\u00a0Ami<\/a>, a sci-fi survival thriller, which is currently in production in Spain.<\/p>\n

\n\tDirected by\u00a0Fernando Szurman\u00a0and written by\u00a0John Wesley Norton\u00a0and\u00a0Ezequiel Martinez Jr.,\u00a0the film\u00a0centers on an astronaut (Mads Mikkelsen) who crash-lands on an uncharted planet after a catastrophic accident, with only his Quantum AI companion Ami (Diane Kruger) left to aid in his escape. \u201cAs he navigates an alien landscape and a battle for survival, he is forced to confront the fragility of memory, the isolation of space, and the resilience of the human spirit,\u201d reads the synopsis.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe project is produced by\u00a0Fishcorb, Capstone Studios, and Conch Republic Films, with\u00a0Andres Sanchez\u00a0executive-producing.\u00a0Capstone Global is handling worldwide sales and will be discussing the project with buyers ahead of next month\u2019s American Film Market in LA.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAmi is exactly the kind of\u00a0daring, character-driven genre film that reflects Capstone\u2019s commitment to globally resonant storytelling,\u201d said\u00a0<\/strong>Fall and Trap House producer Christian Mercuri, CEO of\u00a0Capstone.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cIt\u2019s a rare combination of emotional intimacy and cinematic scale, brought to life by a world-class creative team. With Fernando\u2019s distinctive vision and a cast of extraordinary talent, this project exemplifies the elevated, high-concept filmmaking we champion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat excited me about\u00a0Ami was the opportunity to tell a profoundly human story through a genre that allows for both scope and intimacy,\u201d\u00a0added first-time feature filmmaker\u00a0Szurman, a first AD on movies including Borrego and The Mortimers. \u201cI want to push the boundaries of sci-fi storytelling while grounding it in emotional truth. We\u2019re\u00a0not just making a survival film; we\u2019re inviting audiences into a deeply personal space odyssey.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBAFTA nominee Mikkelsen is well known for movies including Oscar winner\u00a0Another Round\u00a0(2020),\u00a0The Hunt\u00a0(2013),\u00a0Casino Royale\u00a0(2006),\u00a0Doctor Strange(2016), and\u00a0Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore\u00a0(2022). <\/p>\n

\n\tCannes Best actress winner Kruger will next be seen in HBO\u2019s drama series\u00a0The Seduction, a modern reimagining of\u00a0Dangerous Liaisons, and recently starred in\u00a0Little Disasters, which debuted on Paramount+ in the UK and Ireland in May 2025 and will premiere in the U.S. later this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tMikkelsen is repped by UTA and Art Management. Kruger is repped by CAA, Untitled Entertainment, UBBA, and Peikoff Mahan Law Office.<\/p>\n
