‘High Life’: Filming begins this summer with Robert Pattinson in lead role, Patricia Arquette and Mia Goth

'High Life' will feature Robert Pattinson alongside Patricia Arquette and Mia Goth. It is Claire Denis' directorial debut in the genre of science-fiction. The new film tells the story of a group of convicts duped into participating in an elaborate space experiment in the hopes of pardon.

According to Movie News Guide, Pattinson will star in Claire Denis' ambitious new science-fiction film together with Oscar-winner Patricia Arquette and Mia Goth. Denis previously worked with films dealing with issues of colonial and post-colonial West Africa as well as modern France. Her first film, 'Chocolat', was entered into the 1988 Cannes Film Festival.

Lead actor Robert Pattinson rose to prominence for his portrayal of vampire Edward Cullen in 2008's blockbuster film 'Twilight' alongside Kirsten Stewart. The 29-year old English actor also starred in other full-feature films including 'Remember Me', 'Water for Elephants', 'Queen of the Desert' and the upcoming 'Lost City of Z'.

The film will be Denis' directorial debut. According to The Playlist, Denis has teamed up with writer Zadie Smith, cinematographer Agnes Godard and artist Olafur Eliasson. Suart Staples and the Tindersticks have also signed in for sound design and original music and French physicist and black hole expert Aurelien Barrau has been recruited as the film's scientific advisor.

According to The Film Stage, the new film centers a group of convicts tricked into joining a difficult and near-impossible space mission in the belief that this would gain them pardon. It follows a convict named Monte who fathered a daughter against his will via artificial insemination and is raising her alone in a solitary spacecraft heading for a black hole. In the process of raising his daughter Willow, he also learns to experience real love.

'High Life' is an upcoming science-fiction film starring Robert Pattinson, Patricia Arquette and Mia Goth. It is directed by Claire Denis and is expected to debut in theaters at the end of 2017 or the early quarter of 2018. Production for the film will begin in the summer of 2016.
