Annie Marter and Straight Up Films, whose company principals
include Marisa Polvino, Kate Cohen and Regency Boies, developed the screenplay,
written by Jack Paglen. Polvino, Marter and Cohen will produce along with David
Valdes (Book of Eli), Johnson and Kosove. Boies will co-produce. Christopher
Nolan, Emma Thomas and Aaron Ryder are serving as executive producers.
Bettany notably starred in A Beautiful Mind, which earned
him a SAG nomination, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, for
which he received a BAFTA nomination, and The Da Vinci Code, among many others.
Pfister most recently served as cinematographer on The Dark
Knight Rises, and on last year’s best picture nominee, Moneyball. Other credits
include such films as The Italian Job and Laurel Canyon.
Principal photography on Transcendence is set to begin in
April in Los Angeles. Warner Bros. will release in mid 2014 via its output deal
with Alcon.
