The Iranian actor, who starred in Asghar Farhadi’s Oscar-winning, ‘A Separation,’ will co-star John Boyega, the British-Nigerian actor whose fame mostly comes from the ‘Star Wars’ trilogy: ‘The Force Awakens,’ ‘The Last Jedi,’ and ‘The Rise of Skywalker,’ ifilmtv.com reported.

The new project, which is an adaptation of the Sylvain Neuvel’s novella ‘The Test,’ will be produced by Entertainment One, a Canadian multinational entertainment company.

‘The Test’ is a long way removed from Neuvel’s engaging trilogy of novels about alien invasion and giant robots (Sleeping Giants, Waking Gods and Only Human). ‘The Test’ is a black mirror-style concept which posits a fairly extreme form of British citizenship test.

Hood’s ‘Tsotsi’ (2005) won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
