John Malkovich in Poland, in a new movie

John Malkovich has signed on for a role as a 23rd century corporate overlord in sci-fi thriller 'The Mutant Chronicles'. The film is based on a popular role-playing board game and has been adapted by English filmmaker Simon Hunter. Malkovich will play a character called Constantine, who heads a United Nations-style council. Thomas Jane, who recently starred in 'The Punisher', will play Major Mitch Hunter, a Marine who leads the humans and antagonises Constantine. The film is due to start shooting in early summer in London and on the Isle of Man. Malkovich was most recently seen on Irish screens in 'The Libertine' and 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.
