“The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” actress Noomi Rapace is set to star in the thriller “O2” from producer Alexandra Aja about a woman trapped alone in a pod with only 90 minutes of oxygen, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
Franck Khalfoun is directing the film from a script by Christie LeBlanc that appeared on the 2016 Black List.
Rapace will play a woman who wakes up from a cryogenic slumber trapped in a medical pod all alone and with no memory of who or where she is. But she discovers she only has 90 minutes of oxygen left in the pod and must discover how to escape and how she ended up in the pod before she suffocates.
CAA Media Finance is handling domestic sales for “O2” and will present the movie to buyers at the European Film Market. Wild Bunch International is handling international rights.
