According to Deadline, adult man Colin Farrell is going up to space with a bunch of young people for Voyagers, a sci-fi movie that sounds a lot like Lord Of The Flies (maybe Space-Lord Of The Space-Flies?). Voyagers is coming from Divergent and Limitless director Neil Burger, and the Deadline story says it’s about “30 children who are sent on a multi-generationsl mission to populate a new planet,” but the crew “descends into chaos” and divides up into “feral” tribes after their captain is killed “in mysterious circumstances.” In addition to Farrell, the movie will star Tye Sheridan, Lily-Rose Depp, and Fionn Whitehead, with Kelvin Harrison, Chanté Adams, Madison Hu, and Westeros’ favorite creepo little brother Isaac Hempstead Wright all having “advanced discussions” about joining up.
We would assume that Farrell will play the dead captain, but given the “multi-generational” thing, maybe he’ll play a grown-up version of one of the 30 kids? Either way, sucks to your space-assmar.

He looks like a decrepit rooster. I bet he tastes tough and sinewy too.
Season the corpse of Colin Farrell w/lotsa tenderizer & spices. Should do the trick cause Your sense of taste & smell will be severely affected while in outer space for extended time frame in addition to the outer space effects on the muscular/bone structure of Farell’s lifeless body. In Earth’s atmosphere, gravity causes body fluids to settle toward the feet, but in space, those fluids can float freely throughout the body. The retention of fluids in the head can have the same effect as congestion from a cold or virus. Congestion lessens the ability to smell and, therefore, taste food, which can lead to a preference for hot peppers and other spicy items. Astronauts/Cosmonauts, & Space-Travellers are encouraged to focus on experimenting with new food combinations while en voyage (interstellar/galactically) & additionally, is a way to relieve the stress.Also, space flight leads to loss of both skeletal muscle mass (atrophy) and strength. Many parts of the cardiovascular system (including the heart) are influenced by gravity. On Earth, for example, the veins in our legs work against gravity to get blood back to the heart. Without gravity, however, the heart and blood vessels change – and the longer the flight, the more severe the changes. The size and shape of the heart, for example, changes with microgravity and the right and left ventricles decrease in mass. This may be because of a decrease in fluid volume (blood) and changes in myocardial mass. A human heart rate (number of beats per minute) is lower in space than on Earth, too. In other words, eating a dead Colin Farrell on Earth prolly not that good/tasty ie sorta tough. In outer space, w/spices & tenderizer, Farrell’s corpse is probably very edible much like a frozen meat patty that’s been nuked. Cheese would probably help. “He looks like a decrepit rooster.

This is amazing
Only those that can get a hold of the Central Online Network Cerebral Hub are allowed to communicate.
Still no adaptation of Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War….Still no adaptation of Dan Simmons’ Hyperion Cantos…
I see this isn’t the all-female remake. Riane Konc had some ideas for that.
Have never understood this guy’s popularity. Is it the accent?
…possibly the fact that he’s actually quite a good actor ( with the right material)?
He’s great in Phone Booth, considering he pretty much has to carry the film.
And in In Bruges … but playing a dumb Irish guy probably wasn’t a big stretch.
It sounds awful. Where will they send a kid for a “time out?”Will there be juice boxes? Will their rations be made of “people?” ‘Cause kids are picky eaters.
Which space thriller doesn’t end up as a multi-generational Lord of the Flies? Don’t answer, I’m being rhetorical.
Considering this sounds like a complete rip-off of Heinlein’s “Orphans of the Sky”, I look forward to a copyright infringement suit from his estate.
They should cast some folk from The 100 & Pandorum.
Divergent has the lamest costume design in recent memory.
