She will join Tom Hanks, Emma Watson and John Boyega in Image Nation funded movie

Doctor Who and Guardians of the Galaxy star Karen Gillan is the latest big name to be added to the cast of The Circle.

Image Nation is fully financing the feature adaptation of Dave Eggers’ contemporary thriller The Circle starring Tom Hanks and Emma Watson. IM Global is handling international while the US rights are jointly represented by UTA and CAA. The film will be presented by Image Nation Abu Dhabi in association with Parkes MacDonald Productions.

The movie has already announced Harry Potter star Emma Watson in a leading role, along with Star Wars actor John Boyega.

The Circle is an internet monopoly that links users’ emails, social media, banking, and online purchases with their universal operating system – but is that necessarily a good thing?

Shooting is set to start imminently in California.
