Cillian Murphy can see the future. Or at least if he could, he’ll see that in October, he’ll see himself starring in a sci-fi thriller about Russian telepaths.
Telepathy, which will also star Sam Neil and Miranda Richardson, focuses on identical twin brothers Josef and Viktor Zalenski in Russia who are recruited for a to-secret scientific program that hopes to use telepaths to communicate with aliens.
The script comes from Stephen Volk, who last penned ITV’s drama Afterlife, starring Andrew Nichol, and Lesley Manning, who worked with Volk on 1995’s spooky drama Ghostwatch.
