John Malkovich Joins 'The Mutant Chronicles'


John MalkovichJohn Malkovich is to play a 23rd century corporate overlord opposite Thomas Jane in Simon Hunter's sci-fi action thriller The Mutant Chronicles, says the Hollywood Reporter.

Malkovich will play Constantine, who heads a United Nations-style council of four corporation-run countries that have pillaged Earth's natural resources.

When a marauding army of "NecroMutants" wages a battle against humans for the little that remains, Constantine is tempted to destroy the planet and evacuate some of its people rather than allow it to be overtaken, all with the corporations' best interests in mind.

Jane plays Maj. Mitch Hunter, a Marine who leads the humans in their fight and becomes Constantine's antagonist. The story is based on the popular role-playing board game.
