Eva Green and Ed Skrein have joined the cast of sci-fi thriller "A Patriot".

Dan Pringle is attached to the project as director and he has also co-written the script with Toby Rushton, Variety reported.

The cast also includes veteran actor Kathy Bates, and the film takes place in a future authoritarian state that has walled itself away from a world ravaged by climatic chaos and resource wars.

The story follows the unquestioning Border Corp Captain (Green) as she fights to defend the purity of the population, until a chance discovery makes her doubt the authorities she has pledged her allegiance and life to protect.

It will be produced by Adam Merrifield and John Giwa-Amu with Angus Finney serving as the executive producer.
