Alicia Vikander to Slay Monsters in Ben Wheatley’s ‘FreakShift’!!!

Alicia Vikander hasn’t let up since she earned international and awards attention with her whammy of a breakout year (Ex Machina, The Man from UNCLE, and The Danish Girl), and she’s showing no signs of slowing down. The Oscar-winning actress is set to film Lara Croft over the summer, and she’s already eyeing her next project: a team up with High Rise director Ben Wheatley.

Per Deadline, Vikander is in talks to join Wheatley’s Freakshift, “an all-guns-blazing action thriller about a band of misfits who hunt down and kill nocturnal underground monsters” Vikander would take on the role of the lead female protagonist in the monster-hunting tale for a projected August start date (which would give her enough time to finish Croft).

Wheatley, who’s known from his offbeat genre-bending fare like Kill List and A Field in England, is directing the project from a script he co-wrote with writing partner Amy Jump.
