It's safe to say that writer/director Drake Doremus knows his way around complicated romances and relationships. From the long distance pangs of "Like Crazy," to the fantastical urges of "The Beauty Inside" (watch it in full here), to the domestic heat of "Breathe In," he's turned over the tangles of men and women in a variety of satisfying set-ups, and now he's looking to change up the game. Currently doing press rounds in the U.K. to promote "Breathe In" which opens there this weekend, Doremus revealed his next movie will take his preoccupations to a whole other realm.

"My next movie is going to be a sci-fi, love story written by Nathan Parker, writer of 'Moon.' An incredible collaborator, we’ve been working together for almost a year now and hopefully we’ll be making the movie sooner than later," he told Little White Lies. To which we have to say, nice. The switch in screenwriters is interesting, considering Doremus has long worked with Ben York Jones, but perhaps that change in flavors is just what Doremus needs to start branching out and testing his limits in new ways.
"It’s not going to be out of hand, but I think it’s a logical next step, if that makes any sense without giving too much away, of the budget realm," Doremus said about the size of the movie, adding: "I’m really excited to explore a whole new thing while bringing my own passions to it and that’s what’s exciting about collaborating with someone who’s doing something totally different to you as together you can create something very original and unique by bringing different elements to the table."
Jeff Sneider from The Wrap adds that the film is titled "Equals" -- so yeah, color us curious
 
Kate Lyn Sheil Joins Kristen Stewart, Nicholas Hoult In ‘Equals’

By JEN YAMATO | Tuesday July 8, 2014 @ 2:33pm PDTTags: Equals, House of Cards, Kate Lyn Sheil, Kristen Stewart, Nicholas Hoult

EXCLUSIVE: Actress Kate Lyn Sheil (House of Cards, You’re Next) has been cast in Equals, the futuristic love story from director Drake Doremus (Like Crazy, Breathe In) starring Twilight‘s Kristen Stewart and X-Men‘s Nicholas Hoult.


The hot Cannes 2014 sales project is set in a future society where emotions have been eradicated. A new breed of humans, called Equals, live peacefully until a disease begins activating emotions in its victims, who are sent away and never seen again. Hoult is set to star as Silas, who becomes infected and is outcast until he connects with Nia (Stewart), another “switched on” Equal who is able to hide her emotions. Sheil will play Kate, a fellow co-worker of Silas and Nia. Guy Pearce signed on last month to the pic, which is gearing up for an August shoot in Japan and Singapore and was scripted by Moon writer Nathan Parker. Producers are Ridley Scott, Michael Schaefer, Ann Ruark, and Jay Stern and Chip Diggins of Route One which is also financing. Exec producers are Mike Pruss, Lee Jea Woo, Choi Pyung Ho and Russell Levine.
New York-based Sheil was introduced last season on Netflix’s drama House of Cards as Lisa Williams, the social worker who befriends Rachel Posner and becomes her live-in lover. The actress and writer stars next opposite The Newsroom‘s John Gallagher Jr in romantic thriller The Heart Machine from director Zachary Wigon, as well as Sundance pic Listen Up Philip opposite Elizabeth Moss and Jason Schwartzman, which Tribeca Film will open in October.
Indie audiences know Sheil’s work with emerging filmmakers Ti West (The Sacrament, VHS), Amy Seimetz (Sun Don’t Shine), Adam Wingard (You’re Next), Robert Byington (Somebody Up There Likes Me), Rick Alverson (The Comedy), Joe Swanberg (Silver Bullets), Sophia Takal (Green), Alex Ross Perry (The Color Wheel) and Lawrence Michael Levine (Gabi on the Rooftop). She’s repped by CAA and One Entertainment.
 
Trailer is up. Looks bad to be honest.

Of course it looks bad. Kristen Stewart is in it.
 
Bro she get's a bad rep but she's been killing it in the Indie scene since Twilight wrapped. Certainly the biggest success from that group.
 
As for the trailer... it's basically The Giver 2.0
