Set to be released in October 2016, American sci-fi action thriller Geostorm will have Egyptian actor Amr Waked in its cast.
Geostorm stars Gerard Butler, Katheryn Winnick and Abbie Cornish.
Butler plays a satellite designer involved in fixing a climate-controlling satellite malfunction. As he travels to space, the plot to assassinate the president unfolds on Earth. This sci-fi action movie is a directorial debut of Dean Devlin, known mainly as co-writer, actor and producer of films such as Independence Day (1996), Godzilla (1998) and Stargate (1994).
Waked is cast for a role of an international space-station security expert Ray Dussette. According to Variety, his character will be "an important ally for Butler or a thorn in his side, depending on where the screenplay takes him."
