Viggo Mortensen and Kristen Stewart will star in “Crimes of the Future” together.

The two actors have signed up to appear in David Cronenberg‘s upcoming sci-fi thriller, which tells the story of a popular performance artist whose act involves growing new organs in his body.

According to Deadline, the film is set in a distant future where humans have evolved beyond their “natural state and into a metamorphosis, altering their biological make-up” and so Saul Tenser embraces having Accelerated Evolution Syndrome, sprouting new organs in his body, with the removal of such body parts becoming a gruesome new kind of theatre – which as well as attracting a group of fans also catches the attention of the government.

David said in a statement, “I have unfinished business with the future.”

As well as Viggo and Kristen, Lea Seydoux and Scott Speedman have also signed up for the project.
