Dominic Monaghan to Star in Futuristic Fortuna

Posted by Fara Kearnes on October 8, 2008 5:15 PM |

dom monaghanTalk about great timing! Worldwide economic collapse, climate crisis, and culture wars, Dominic Monaghan and Freddy Rodriguez have signed on to star in Fortuna, a futuristic flick set in the year 2100.

The Hollywood Reporter says that the horror flick (what else would it be?) will depict a time of economic crisis that leads to the "elimination of the middle class, leaving only the megarich and the severely poverty stricken." Oh! T.i. is so like 2008!!

Anyhoo, the plot of the movie is this, according to the Reporter: "To give hope and avoid revolt, the elite create Fortuna, a mysterious game where one in a thousand wins a big payday and joins the upper classes. But their hidden goal to reduce poverty by 30% over 50 years comes with a deadly price tag."

Monaghan (Lost), Rodriguez (Six Feet Under) and "Fortuna" writer-director Barthelemy Grossmann will play desperate men who play the game in a nearby tower, despite apprehensions that none of its contestants are ever seen again.

The privately financed film begins a six-week shoot in Bulgaria next month.
