Nicholas Hoult ("Superman"), Colman Domingo ("Euphoria"), Emma Corrin ("The Crown"), and Noah Jupe ("Hamnet: The Story That Inspired 'Hamlet'") are attached to the psychological thriller "The Servant".

Set in 1950s N.Y., the premise is simple on paper: a Brit. (Hoult) moves into a new apartment and soon finds himself in a tug-of-war with the man he hires to serve him (Domingo). This will be a reinterpretation of the 1963 film of the same name — the original lead roles were James Fox and Dirk Bogarde (yes, that Dirk Bogarde). The project is being written and directed by Francis Lee, known for "Ammonite" and "God's Own Country." Filming is slated to begin in Jan. next yr.
