Busy Hoult

Equals star Nicholas Hoult is pretty much about to become the guy.

Last seen in Mad Max: Fury Road (and, maybe, in Dark Places, although that is quite less likely), the British actor is sticking close to the sci-fi genre for a bit in order to star opposite Rooney Mara in The Discovery, a new romance set a year after the existence of the afterlife is scientifically verified.

Hoult will portray the son of the scientist who makes the discovery, while the Pan actress will play a woman with a tragic past with whom he falls in love.

The news comes right on the heels of his attachment to A Life In the Day, the story of Brian Epstein, the erstwhile Beatles manager. Hoult reportedly is fixing to take on the role of the flamboyantly gay Epstein, while Unbroken’s Jack O’Connell would portray John Lennon, with whom Epstein is said to have had quite the intense relationship.

Called it: It Boy Alert!
