Director Andrew Niccol will be working again with Ethan Hawke on a thriller centered around the moral implications of drone strikes. Deadline reports that the writer-director of films like Gattaca and S1m0ne has chosen frequent collaborator Hawke as the lead for his newest project. The untitled film will center around a pilot who begins flying drones from a Las Vegas control center. Tensions develop within his family, and Hawke's character eventually finds himself wondering if attacking the Taliban from half a world away is actually perpetuating conflict rather than resolving it. The film is scheduled to start shooting next February.
