Marisa Tomei, Joshua Jackson board ‘Inescapable’
Mideast-set thriller to be helmed by Ruba Nadda
By Dave McNary

Marisa Tomei and Joshua Jackson are joining Alexander Siddig as the leads in the indie thriller “Inescapable.”
Film will be directed by “Cairo Time” writer-director Ruba Nadda, who also wrote the script. It will be produced by Daniel Iron (”Edwin Boyd,” “Cairo Time”) with Lance Samuels (”The Bang Bang Club”).

Christine Vachon of Killer Films, Kirk D’Amico of Myriad Pictures and Mark Slone of Alliance Films are executive producers. Alliance Films will also distribute Inescapable in Canada.

Project is the story of a Syrian expatriate (Siddig) whose journalist daughter goes missing in Damascus. He must return to his homeland to find her despite the risks, and calls on a former love (Tomei) to help him. An embassy official (Jackson) is at first helpful but may have an agenda of his own.

Just a few random updates that I think you’ll all enjoy. First off, I came across some portrait shots that Josh and his Fringe castmates took at the FOX Upfront on Monday. They’re really great looking and I hope to have some HQs available soon.

Great news! Josh has just signed on to a new movie project called, UFO.

Per Variety:

Variety reports that Joshua Jackson (Fox’s “Fringe”) will star in UFO, the feature adaptation of the British TV series to be directed by visual effects guru Matthew Gratzner.

Jackson will star as Paul Foster, a test pilot who joins S.H.A.D.O. (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organization), a covert organization built under a Hollywood studio that defends Earth against a race of aliens who have been abducting humans and using the body parts.

The Gerry Anderson-created series was a cult hit in the 1970s. The film, written by Ryan Gaudet and Joseph Kanarek, is scheduled to start shooting in the spring in the UK.

“Character development is the most critical part of UFO, and Joshua’s terrific talent and range is exactly what I need to convey the inner conflict of the character of Paul Foster,” Gratzner said.

I’ll post more information as it becomes available.

Josh also did an interview while on the Fringe set for AOL:
