Deadline has reported that Cole Sprouse and Lana Condor have signed on to star in New Line's Max Original feature Moonshot. The movie is a romantic comedy with a science fiction twist, as it is set in a future where Mars is terraformed and colonized by the best humanity has to offer. Two very different college students wind up joining forces and sneak onboard a space shuttle to the red planet in order to be united with their significant others. The film will be directed by Chris Winterbauer, whose debut feature Wyrm earned rave reviews at several film festivals, from a screenplay by Max Taxe. More actors are expected to join the Moonshot cast ahead. 

Cole Sprouse’s Riverdale exec producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter will produce through Berlanti/Schechter Films along with Jill McElroy and Jenna Sarkin of Entertainment 360.

WarnerMedia is also home to Berlanti’s Warner Bros Television deal.
