Ben Wheatley said:  “I am very excited to be working with Tom Hiddleston on this project. He is the perfect Laing to me. He brings an intelligence, vulnerability and humour to his roles, be they art-house or blockbuster that will make Laing come alive. It’s also a great privilege to be working with Ballard’s seminal book.”

Tom Hiddleston added: “I can’t wait to work with Ben. He is one of the most inspired directors in the UK, and he brings with him impeccable taste, courage, wit and singular brilliance: the perfect combination to realise the ambition of J. G. Ballard’s unique vision.

“I’m greatly looking forward to working again with Jeremy Thomas and Recorded Picture Company, after a fantastic experience together on Only Lovers Left Alive with Jim Jarmusch. It’s a huge privilege to be asked to collaborate on this brave and daring piece of work”.
