Jon Orsini and Ruby Modine have joined John Malkovich, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Thaddeus Street in pandemic-inspired thriller The Survivalist for Yale Productions.
Directed by Jon Keeyes from an original script by Matthew Rogers, the movie takes place after the fall of civilization from a viral outbreak.
Orsini will play the role of Owen, a once ordinary man before the outbreak who for protection and camaraderie finds himself the unwilling follower of Aaron (Malkovich), a dangerous, violent and psychopathic gang leader.
Modine will play Sarah, a young woman believed to be immune to the virus and taken prisoner in a refugee camp and eventually befriended by a former FBI agent (Rhys Meyers) who protects her from Aaron, who in turn believes he.
