Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s tightly guarded Netflix AI thriller continues to grow. Alfre Woodard and Chloe Coleman are the latest to join the project, rounding out an ensemble that has been quietly becoming one of the more impressive casts assembled for a streaming film in recent memory.
They join a lineup that already includes Rachel McAdams, Jeff Daniels, Joel Edgerton, Toni Collette, Caleb McLaughlin, Nnamdi Asomugha, and Sagar Radia. Character details remain under wraps, as does the film’s plot, though the story centers on artificial intelligence.
Gordon-Levitt directs from a screenplay he co-wrote with Kieran Fitzgerald, with both sharing a story credit alongside Natasha Lyonne. Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman produce through their T-Street Productions banner alongside Gordon-Levitt and Fitzgerald. Netflix secured the package last October.
Woodard, a Golden Globe and Emmy winner, was most recently seen in Netflix’s sci-fi series The Boroughs, executive produced by the Duffer Brothers, and Apple TV’s The Last Frontier. Coleman is known for Big Little Lies, the My Spy films, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, with the Taylor Sheridan-penned Warner Bros. actioner F.A.S.T. among her upcoming projects. Radia is best known for his role as investment banker Rishi Ramdani on HBO’s Industry.
The rest of the cast brings considerable weight of their own. Daniels returns to Netflix following his 2025 limited series A Man in Full. Edgerton comes off Train Dreams, which earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture after Netflix acquired it following its Sundance premiere. McLaughlin wraps his run on Stranger Things and his lead role in Sony Animation’s GOAT. McAdams, whose credits span Mean Girls, The Notebook, and Spotlight, for which she received an Academy Award nomination, leads the project. Collette, a fellow Globe and Emmy winner, has Morten Tyldum’s Ibelin and the comedic thriller Fangs ahead.
Filming is underway in Belgrade, Serbia, with additional shooting in Montenegro, and production is expected to wrap in 2027. Netflix has not announced an official release date.
